I already mentioned cloning.

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. -

As a town planner who also has to deal with transport, I´d rather believe in nanotech then in arcologies or integrated transport.Originally posted by Sandman
Don't go for nanotech. It's never going to happen. People will look back on us and laugh, like we laugh at robot butlers.
Some suggestions:
3D Urban Planning:City design on three dimensions not two. Gives the arcology city improvement.
Integrated transport: Fully integrated, computer controlled transport systems.

Just plain weird
In this month's Scientific American, I read about a theory dealing
with the properties of light as seen from great distances.
Evidently, the properties of electrons, and by extention, all
matter were different in the past.
If true, it could deal a staggering blow to uniformitarianism, the
law that states that all observable phenomena in the universe
have been the same since the its beginning and that what holds
true for one part of the universe, holds true for all parts. This,
along with rationalism, is one of the core principles of scientific
enquiry
By the way, did you want "realistic" techs, or any sort of sci-fi
techs we can think of?Comment

I think a combination of realistic and sci-fi. I mean how realistic is Nano-Tech in todays world? In a few hundred years, though, it very well may be feasible. So I guess what I am saying is anything that seems viable. If it holds water than it should work. (Now don't take that literal, you guys.
)

As far as nanotechnology goes, we're closer than you think. We actually have some - we can make gears and motors already on an unbelievebly small scale using technologies similar to what we use to make microchips with. You may see medical applications within your lifetime!
Should Microsoft be a prequisite for Corporate Republic?
I find it hard to come up with ideas, they're already taken.
What about large-scale antimatter production? That would be a gigantic leap in power production, and allow more exotic technologies.
Of course, magnetic confinement would have to be discovered first."If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music he hears, however measured or far away" --Henry David ThoreauComment

Nuclear power -> Fusion Power -> Antimatter -> Controlled singularity
each of these tech gives you a power plant which increases production, and a super weapon, like the nuke but more powerful...<Kassiopeia> you don't keep the virgins in your lair at a sodomising distance from your beasts or male prisoners. If you devirginised them yourself, though, that's another story. If they devirginised each other, then, I hope you had that webcam running.

I didn't think about it til now but satellites could be amazingly easy to immplement. Before a satellite would have to be an actual unit, and i mean how dumb is it to have a satellite unit floating around the map. But now with the operational range you can just make it the whole world. Then give it a low chance to be intercepted and you're done. Now what would be cool is a satellite weapon nuke.

Nuclear power -> Fusion Power -> Antimatter -> Controlled singularity
nuclear power+magnetic confinement->Fusion power->Antimatter->spacetime manipulation->Controlled singularity
perhaps?
The question is: How detailed do we want the tech tree to be? I can throw in at least a dozen more items. Also, what kind of units and abilities would these technologies unlock?
Antimatter power plant
antimatter missle (and you thought nukes were bad
)
spacetime manipulation could unlock stuff that could defend against antimatter stuff, since you could manipulate spacetime to channel the energy."If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.

Hello people!
What about
Eudaimonia - a perfect society if you love happy citizens, low pollution, maybe research and culture, extremely crappy at war and low production.
Biorobotics - basic robots that are part-organic
(leads to...)
Biomechanics - more advanced bio-robots that can do complex tasks and bio-robotic units are cheaper to build (with a proper facility - Bionetic Enhancement?) and may repair themselves faster
(leads to...)
Biomachines and Homo Superior (which would also require some form of medical Nanotech). Biomachinery would be extremely complex machines (imagine literally "growing" spaceships and units ) and Homo Superior... I think you know what I mean
I also think the field of Quantum Mechanics and possibly Quantum Computers is unsued in civ and smac games.
The Collective - a society where every consciousness is mentally linked - bit like the borg
Space Habitation - allows you to build permanent space colonies (would probably require Nanoreplication or something
)
Wouldn't it be cool that you build a wonder where you travel back in time to the global Ancient age and exterminate everyone else with your own superior weapons and technology, before they got the chance to develop!

NO it would be a beam, what the heck else would you fire from a satelliate. It wouldn't be a laser since a laser is just a fine beam of light, it doesn't break at the end. This would be some sort of intense energy ) (perhaps plasma, or an upgrade of a laser) that breaks purely horizantilly; which would give two bonus effects; A) All of its energy would be spent in the horizantal spread (thereby making it more powerful, and B) it wouldn't make a huge crater which would allow you to still colonize the area (good and bad i guess)Originally posted by CobraA1

Some sort of supernatural beam? Ok. Kinda straying from physics, though.
I wonder how much a plasma beam would be dispersed by the atmosphere. I also wonder how exactly it would react with the ground where it hits. Probably would burn a deep hole.
I know of nothing that "breaks purely horizantilly [sic]."
Laser beams aren't neccessarily "fine." They can be made thick, and I imagine the scattering effect of the atmosphere would make a nice glow.
Maybe I'm getting too picky, though .
