Finishing the tech tree in 7 advances

[Alex 14]

I was looking at my CTP2 advances guide today and saw that its possible to complete the modern tech tree up till modern medicine in 7 turns, i havent tried it, has anyone?

Religion > Drama > Philosophy > Theology > Facism > Nationalism > Democracy > Pharmaceuticals > Modern Medicine

Then you can get Genetics in an extra turn!

Side Note: The cheat for CTP2 is 'Leemur'.

Do you know any other cheats? I remember that someone from Activision mentioned a codeword that would put the AI on automatic for 100 turns or something. But I foolishly didn't make a note of it and have never been able to find it again.

Unfotunatly the tech tree is a little bit longer.

Modern Medicine has two prerequisites. The following lines are taken from the Advance.txt, you see the relevant entry for Modern Medicine

ADVANCE_MEDICINE {

Prerequisites ADVANCE_CORPORATION
Prerequisites ADVANCE_PHARMACEUTICALS

Cost 30250
Icon ICON_ADVANCE_MEDICINE
Branch 0
Age AGE_FOUR
}

So you need for Modern Medicine a second advance and the same thing is true for most of the other advances. And also if it would be possible More modern advances would be to expensive for acient civs.

I have the CTP2 strategy guide and Leemur is the only signle player cheat, and it gives you something like 500,000 gold & 500,000 public works.
