Well it's a bit like the UN being buildable (under previous Civs) after the invention of communism - it does not say that the UN is a "communist" institution, just that appearance of communism denotes the point in time and development of political thought, that is necessary for the appearance of the UN.Originally posted by Verenti
Uh, Um... This topic got me looking at the tech tree again and ... can anyone look double check this... but is Mount Rushmore a wonder under ... Fascism?
Besides, building giant statues, sculptures and monuments of national leaders in modern day is more appropriate for fascisms rather than liberal democracy, on average.The problem with leadership is inevitably: Who will play God?

Well, judging by Wikipedia, we see that the time at which Mount Rushmore was built does coincide with the rise of Fascism in Europe-which might explain its placing at this point in the tech tree. Alternatively, though, it could be placed back during Nationalism-given that this is what Mount Rushmore sort of represents.Between 1927 and October 31, 1941, Gutzon Borglum and 400 workers sculpted the 60 foot (18 m) colossal busts of Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln, to represent the first 150 years of American history.

I would only correct a bit you last sentence, because other different gov form can prefer to indulge in "leader veneration": e.g. think about Stalin, Lenin, Mao and Castro.
I'm afraid to see more and more often also that democracy try to give away easy prize (dedicating naming of streets, ships, buildings, etc.) to still alive or just dead people. I think real greatness of a person should be proven standing the test of time for at least 20 - 30 years, before dedicating anything more than a sign on a garden...

back on topic:
if the top-right icon is pre-requesites and the arrows are either-or pre-reqs, what is with situations like "metal casting" which has a pottery icon and an arrow from bronze working??- Artificial Intelligence usually beats real stupidity

It needs both techs then. Only if another arrow would have pointed to the tech there would be an OR choice between bronze working and this hypothetical second tech.Comment
-
but then why display it like this? why not use different arrow colours or dashed lines for optional?
at least 2 mandatory prereqs should be displayed the same (like flight for instance)- Artificial Intelligence usually beats real stupidity

I guess "cluttering" has something to do with it.
