Civ1 tech tree

[Gramphos]

Me and my bigger brother did some cleaning on olb papers by the computers at home, and we found this illustration of the Civ1 tech tree made by him to get a view over the technology paths.

Has the tech tree ever looked more complex?

[Maniac]

Once upon a time... I made a civ1 tree which looks way more systematic and orderly than yours, but unfortunately it's drawn on a paper six times the size of a normal A4 paper, so I can't scan it for you.

*grins*

That is a wonderful tech tree, Gramphos! I'm glad I never saw it before starting to play Civ, otherwise I wouldn't even have bothered! :P

[Asmodean]

That's a good one, Gramphos. But wasn't there a tech tree poster included with the game. I have forgotten now. It's...OMG...12 years ago.

I don't remember... If there was I don't have it any more... And didn't have it when my brother made that image either.

[Gilgamensch]

Yes, there is(was). It is included on the last page of the documentation. Yes a real hardcopy manual !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You had to unfold it, though. Something like 2 A5 pages (landscape)

[Asmodean]

Yeah. I remember that manual. It was huge. I remember reading all of it before playing, and actually enjoying myself reading it.

They just don't make manuals like that anymore.

[Ecthy]

not a poster, but there's a tree in the manual

[Gramphos]

Well, I didn't make that tree, it was my brother, and my manual is stored somewhere I don't remember. And when I got the game I couldn't readf English, so it did me not mush good.

The first copy of Civ we used was in German, but nowadays I run an English copy.

Translations of these games just suck

That has to do with the crappy way you Germans sometimes mix German and English.

It's even worse when a German company translates a game to Swedish from English VIA German. Somethings can get totally ununderstandable. (And it's in those cases you want to use the English version, or be able to fix a few strings yourself).

[Ecthy]

yeah, they translated it with "finden" rather than "gründen"

Gilga?

[Gilgamensch]

Exactly.................

They where using 'online' translation, which will check for found....and find that this is past of to find........which isn't right in this case..........

But I think that's how they run into it..............

So it might have been the English people not even knowing their own language
