Quoting the big news flash:
It kind of interests me, and the tree could bet branched to effectively represent different categories of research now (social, military, etc...)
It'd be more flexible and more interesting to come up with specific research strategies. E.g. Rush to A-B-C tech, then to X, then to D-E, then to L-M-N-O-P technolgoies. This seems betterr than Era 1, pick 1 of out 3 pathways, then fill in the blocks of Era 1.
OTOH, I'm thinking lots of small situations will then pop-up, that will want for little rulings.
E.g. High-Tech society with inferior medicine runs into another culture used to zoonotic diseases (e.g. CowPox to SmallPox issue). How does it result?
Or, society with primitive morals and rule-of-law gets a sudden boost in high technology weaponry. Do they suddenly collapse into civil war and anarchy?
Or, U.N. in a world mostly in the Iron age. Do they outlaw Crossbowman? Is there a Crossbowmen Reductions Treaty?
