    different turn #s to discover techs

    OK, anyone notice the science advisor in one of the screenshots at civ3.com?

    Notice writing takes but two turns yet Construction takes 24 and Currency 19, and Polytheism 15. Anyone know whats up with this? Ideas?

      Re: different turn #s to discover techs

      Construction, currency, and polytheism are farther along on the tree, so it's possible they cost more. I think it's more likely that the civ has been researching writing and is closer to discovering it.

        Hey did you ever notice my thread, Tech Tree?

        I've also seen some sign of possbily being able to research two things at once, go to Snapcase's thread (The *Complete* Tech Tree - Discuss) to read more.
        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.

          Sorry TechWins, I didn't see it. Thought it was about other stuff, though I should have thought it may have come up in such a topic. Silly me.

            I like this, where different techs have fixed values (of course all are dependent on difficulty level and other similar factors). I am very pleased to see this implemented. It was one of those things I would have requested in the tech tree but never quite remembered to suggest...nice one Firaxis!
