Just wondering about the new tech tree you are working on how hard will it be to follow tech trees similar to those in various parts of the worlds such as the Americas, and the East. as they didn't follow the same research path as the west e.g. no wheel, or alphabet

What does this box do I wonder? -

We are basically having a culturally adapted system which basically means for westerners its the alphabet, for chinese, Kanji, for indians, sandscript, etc.Which Love Hina Girl Are You?

Oh dear! Are you even sure you answered the questions correctly?) Underneath your confused exterior, you hold fast to your certainties and seek to find the truth about the things you don't know. While you may not be brimming with confidence and energy, you are content with who you are and accepting of both your faults and the faults of others. But while those around you love you deep down, they may find your nonchalance somewhat infuriating. Try to put a bit more thought into what you are doing, and be more aware of your surroundings.Comment

From an email by Henrique Duarte (I think he only has limited net access, so I will post his stuff for him
LGJ: I know this probably is some of the stuff you are aiming for...)
Artistic and philosophical movements.
Artistic development has a tremendous impact on society, specialy on the
scientific and philosophy schollars. Maybe you should take into account
something akin to the ages but in the artistic and philosphical movements
context. It should frame the ambitions and needs of a given society (I hope
that I am not using any game terms and messing things) and be in some way
connected with religion (in harmony or not).
If this movements have some kind of influence in gameplay maybe you can
simulate civilizational trends like western and oriental. For example:
Renaissance - the neo-classical movements and the advent of experimentalism
(and sharp technological development) should contrast with the unified,
closed chinese empire with a confucius orientation.
P.S. Just thought of... There is a known relation between geographical,
political AND scientific dynamism. Complex geography-diversified political
organization (states and government forms)-great scientific competition and
use of knew ideas in a attempt to overcame neighbouring states, try to get
this into the game :-). (eh, eh... get too big too early and you
stagnate... yes I know you have some ways of simulating this through social
unrest)
