Maybe Bridge Building requires Iron Working, not because the bridges themselves are made out of iron, but because the enormous task of shaping and moving the stone blocks requires iron tools.

The Middle Ages tech screenshot here starts with engineering, which would probably need the construction advance prerequisite, so that would make sense.Concrete, Abstract, or Squoingy?

I think that the tech at the bottom of the fourth column may well be Monarchy, and also that the sole tech in the fifth column is probably Construction. I've just put up a page with a hypothetical version of the Ancient Times tech tree on it. It encapsulates all the information we have at this time on a single diagram. When and if more ideas come to light, it will be updated. Does anyone know what the colours above the techs represent? They don't really seem to break down nicely into the Civ II categories of Social/Economic/Military/Pure Science, and I think that grey may be a placeholder, as so many of the techs are grey.12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

I dont' know if it is there but a modern age tech advance should be cell phones.
Also "Telephone" would/should be a percursor to Radio (mass production of parts for one allows easier adoption of the other), to "Television", To "Computers", to "The Internet" (hard to connect if there is no network to connect to), to "International Relations" (a la "Hotlines" to allow urgent / immediate diplomacy prior to declaring war or launching those missiles ) and such an advance would make control of troops in distant parts easier and also business & trade more efficient.

The major problem in antiquity was that this system could only work in a city state, where people could unite at the marketplace and not in the territorial states later on."The world is too small in Vorarlberg".

Did they really again put the alphabet before writing? That's so ridiculous..."The world is too small in Vorarlberg". Austrian ex-vice-chancellor Hubert Gorbach in a letter to Alistar [sic] Darling, looking for a job...

Hi again,
Emperor if there should be a special unit, it might be wise to put the Caravel to the Portuguese People. The Caravel is a small navy invented/made by Portuguese. The Spanish could have a equivilant unit, the 'Spanish Nau' or other alike...
My point here is the the Caravel is one of the major simbols of the Portuguese People.
Hope they still have the wonder of 'Fernando Magalhes' a great Portuguese discoverer.
Note to everyone that might not no history: Portugal IS NOT Spain. By the way, Portugal is one of the oldest countries in Europe...The Emperor

We had already surmised that the colours were to indicate your progress through the tech-tree. Looking at the screenshot, note that no grey techs is connected only to a blue tech. Note that all the orange and blue techs are on the left side of the screen, and that all the green techs are needed (and are the only ones needed, with the exception of the one blue tech) for the final green tech.
Thus, my guess is:
Blue - Already Obtained
Orange - Available for research (All pre-reqs known)
Grey - Unknown and Unavailable (1 or more pre-reqs unknown)
Green - Needed to reach a specified tech
If you remember, just before that shot, the developer had said he'd do something like "Head for Construction" - I think that's what the greens are doing.The church is the only organisation that exists for the benefit of its non-members

Music Theory a prerequisite to Radio?
