to make tech trees simpler
Posted: Sun Apr 15, 2018 4:09 pm
This is just food for thoughts, not exactly a request.
Sometimes one of req1/req2 is useless because the other already needs it indirectly.
Maybe removing a few lines out of a somehow convoluted tech tree would make it a little more readable ?
Known list of duplicate dependencies (as of civ2/classic, found in 2.5.x) :
The Republic : Code of Laws already in Literacy
Mass Production : The Corporation already in Automobile
Fusion Power : Nuclear Power already in Superconductors
Superconductors : Nuclear Power already in Laser
Laser : Mass Production already in Nuclear Power
Plastics : Refining already in Space Flight
Note : duplicates removed in civ2civ3 except for The Republic.
Other note : there are even more useless dependencies in civ1.
