    List of technologies in the game

    This is where we attempt to guess at the technologies Firaxis has put into Civ III. To start it off, I'll put down the list of techs which I can cull from the tech advisor screenshots.

    -Bronze Working (probably required for spearmen and phalanx)

    Taken from here.

    -Warrior Code
    -The Wheel (required for chariot)
    -Pottery
    -Ceremonial Burial
    -Mathematics (required for catapult)

    The previous five were the only ones I could read on this screenshot.

    -Monotheism
    -Feudalism (required for pikeman)
    -Engineering
    -Theology
    -Chivalry (required for knights)
    -Invention
    -Printing Press (NEW!)
    -Education (NEW!)
    -Gunpowder (required for musketeer)
    -Music Theory (NEW!)
    -Banking
    -Astronomy (required for caravel: new requirement)
    -Chemistry
    -Democracy (required for 2 units; possibly riflemen and a mounted unit: new requirement)
    -Physics
    -Metallurgy (required for cannon)
    -Economics
    -Navigation (required for explorer: new requirement)
    -Free Artistry (NEW!)
    -Theory of Gravity
    -Magnetism (required for three units, probably galleon and frigate, possible English special unit "Man O' War")
    -Military Tradition (NEW! required for unknown, probably new unit)

    The last bunch were taken from here.

    If any of you can confirm the existence of other techs, feel free to post 'em here.

    I just hope that the tech tree is well organised. CTP2 having fascism as a prerequisite for democracy being an obvious mistake.

    Fortunately a tech editor can overcome any minor flaws.

      Thanks, I was beginning to be afraid of Music Theory
      Anyway, there is still reason to fear Highlanders armed with bagpipes as the Scottish special unit

        Glad to see that there are some new technologies reflecting the importance of artistic development to the strength of a civilization. I'll be interested to see what buildings/ Wonders/ units will be associated with some of these advances.

        Music Theory a prerequisite to Radio?

          I see Iron Working and Map Making in this screen. (IronWorkning Second from the left in the top row. Map Making: The one with a Ship (over a possible Horseback Riding (correct length, but I can't read it.)))

            Well isn't it obvious that Music Theory is an important prerequisite to rock music? Along with electronics

            Who knows what that will be all about, obviously allows some way of controlling unhappiness...

              Internet has also been mentioned as being a new tech. If riflemen are a unit for Democracy than I sure hope gunpowder has to be discovered before you can discover Democracy.
              However, it is difficult to believe that 2 times 2 does not equal 4; does that make it true? On the other hand, is it really so difficult simply to accept everything that one has been brought up on and that has gradually struck deep roots – what is considered truth in the circle of moreover, really comforts and elevates man? Is that more difficult than to strike new paths, fighting the habitual, experiencing the insecurity of independence and the frequent wavering of one’s feelings and even one’s conscience, proceeding often without any consolation, but ever with the eternal goal of the true, the beautiful, and the good? - F.N.

                Most of the new technologies listed are related to culture, so I assume we will get more, including

                Cinema
                Literature
                Gramaphone/popular music/rock and roll

                I hope that the Great Leaders concept is extended to science, trade and culture - although the discussion about whether the great leader should be the Beatles or Elvis may start a riot

                    Oh yeah, that's right. I don't know what I was thinking.

                      I managed to squint out a few more techs on this screenshot:

                      -Horseback Riding (required for 1 unit, almost certainly the horseman unit)

                      -Philosophy (seems to no longer require Mysticism)

                      -Code of Laws

                      -Writing

                      -Linguistics (or something similar; they've renamed Alphabet)

                      -Mysticism

                      -Literacy (I think)

                      -Iron Working (required for 1 unit, almost certainly the swordsman unit)

                        I forgot to ask: does anybody have any idea what the "T"-balls mean in this screenshot? Or why some of them have red crosses through them?

                          I think that they are placeholders for improvements that will be able by that technology. The on with red crosses is in that case most likely wonders that are made obsolete by that technology.

                            It's strange though; the placeholders for improvements are not separated from the unit icons. Good idea, Gramphos; I hadn't thought of there being an icon for wonder (or maybe even improvement) expiry.

                              Big Crunch - Regarding

                              I sure hope gunpowder has to be discovered before you can discover Democracy.
                              Didn't the Greeks invent Democracy about 3 or so thousand years ago ? (long before anyone thought of making rifles or firearms in a big way).
