      Are you positive you have your comments right regarding tech rate?

        One thing, bigger nubmer in tech rate means SLOWER tech rate.

        Second, you swiched vaules for small & tiny maps.
        It should be:

        World 1.17 1.21 Option

        Tiny 60 160 Tech Rate
        Small 90 200 Tech Rate

          Are you saying that the tech rate is slower in 1.21f?

          WTF? I don't know about you, but I played a Warlord level game on 1.17f where I was playing against 8 computer players, and we were all in the industrial age when Civ said "Game Over" in 2050, and when I kept playing, I didn't have tanks until 2300 AD, and I was the most advanced civilization...

          And if the tech rate is SLOWER in 1.21f on normal maps.... Time to change that, that's for sure.

          Bah. Slowing the tech rate because the AI trades like crazy is no way to fix the AI tech trading problem.

          (Actually, I think I'll leave it alone and try it out before I change anything.)

          "For it must be noted, that men must either be caressed or else annihilated; they will revenge themselves for small injuries, but cannot do so for great ones; the injury therefore that we do to a man must be such that we need not fear his vengeance." - Niccolo Machiavelli

            Yep. And increased the cost of some techs to boot. The most common complaint seemed to be the eras whipping by too fast, expecially at higher levels. Most people seemed able to get to modern era by 1500 or 1600. Try lots of Lib and Uni. Also have to expand your empire to decent size.

              I found a couple of other changes

              Difficulty Section
              • There is now an Ai Trade Factor for each difficulty level. It is set to 110 for Chieftain and rises by 10 for each level, reaching 160 for Deity. I don't yet know how this value is used.
              • There is now a corruption percentage for each difficulty level. Unless you change it in the editor, it is set to 100% for all levels.

              Here is my take on the World Size section. I think there may be a typo in Cold Fever's version.

              World Size Section
              • Large world size dropped from 140x140 to 130x130.
              • Huge world size dropped from 180x180 to 160x160.

              "Tech rates" were increased for all world sizes. The number of beakers required for a particular advance is proportion to the "tech rate", so the result of the increase is that techs will be discovered slower. The increases are more pronounced for smaller worlds than for larger ones. The rates are now:
              • Tiny increased to 160 from 60
              • Small increased to 200 from 90
              • Standard increased to 240 from 120
              • Large increased to 320 from 180
              • Huge increased to 400 from 240

                  actually, i think you'll find that the large map used to be 150 x 150.

                    No. It was 180 x 180 in v1.07, v1.16 and v1.17.
                    "As far as general advice on mod-making: Go slow as far as adding new things to the game until you have the basic game all smoothed out ... Make sure the things you change are really imbalances and not just something that doesn't fit with your particular style of play." - WesW
