Whilst you're there add *barbs always from huts for war4* to the @barbs settings.

remind me to host next time

The Easy Way
1. open the rules.txt file
2. scroll down to the tech advances (@civilize)
3. find the appropriate abbreviation for the tech you want to make the oracle obsolete
4. scroll down to the wonder section (@endwonders)
5. replace "the" with the abbreviation found in step 3.
6. save the file (optionally backing up the original first)

The Easier Way
1. get someone else to do The Easy Way
2. claim that you did it all by yourself

Yes, I think it will help.
