Hi there,
Up until now, I mainly play AOMII because of the World at War problem that exists in AOMIII...
As you all know, in AOMIII, upon discovery of Democracy, Communism or Fascism, there is first of all a tech spillage, and the world falls apart into the major WWII factions which then begin to wage war on the other blocks. Each of these factions also get a whole lot of units, from Spitfires to Tiger Tanks.
It seems unescapable that - for instance - the discovery of Democracy happens in a point in the game, when you are still fighting with musketman and canons. Then, overnight, you suddenly get these WWII units. Also, you will, later in the game, have to discover biplanes, riflemen etcetera. In other words, the World at War event corrupts the research timeline, and this kind of ruins the gameplay in this point in the game.
I therefore think, that it would be better that you both have to have the necessary gov ánd a prerequisite advance, so you get these units later in the game, at a more appropriate and logical time in the tech tree.
Can this be done, and if so, in what files do I have to look? I only have looked in the Great Library files so far, so please be patient with me.
I also thought about adding renaissance govs like Absolutism and Enlightened Despotism, so the modern govs come later in the game. This would also mean that the medieval govs don´t last so long, and since those limit the number of cities you can have, this intermediate renaissance period would give your empire growth a boost in a point in the game where it would be really welcome. Unfortunately, I lack the skills to do this, so my initial idea (having to have both a prereq tech and a gov to get access to the WWII units) is what I am aiming for.
Thanks in advance for any help you guys can offer...
