Well, with technologies and nations you've introduced, I don't see how we can start later than in middle age. Unless every nation is going to have half of the tech tree discovered from the very begging..

This is only a starting template. As I move toward another, similar scenario, I'll either build a new tech tree from the ground up or borrow from previous ones. Other civilizations will have to be introduced for this to reach my true aspirations.

A Few Notes on how These Other Ideas will be Different from the Current Template :

Examples for this lecture :
Common Sense
The Great Schism
The Eternal War
Pax Romana
The War on Terror

While these mechanics may seem confusing, they'll be a breeze once you practice them consistently. Pax Romana will be almost like the current template! Aside from stronger barbs, a few large empires and slightly larger armies, this will have a nearly identical tech tree where players all start out with a certain set of techs.

While some scenarios will encapsulate large windows of time ( Pax Romana, The Eternal War ) and some will cover moderate eras ( Great Schism ), scenarios like The War on Terror or Common Sense will feature a pretty narrow spectrum of years. Common Sense covers roughly 90 years, while the War on Terror will only go through 20! Luckily, turns will take up fewer and fewer years/months to compensate for the lack of them.

Some scenarios will feature recycling of previous tech trees ( Pax Romana, The Great Schism ), others will have entirely independent trees ( The Eternal War ) or will build foundations for new tech trees ( The War on Terror ).

Some mechanics will be taken out for certain situations ( trade, science or upkeep, etc. ) and some may be added in for certain scenarios ( city system, chances of success at things like Revolutions or completely redone victory system, etc. ).

Victory Routes

Before we head into the Birth of Civilization game in the coming days, here are ALL the possible Victory Routes. Note that many of these victories are subject to change throughout playing the game.

General Victory Routes
Victories that everyone can attain.

Paradise
---------------------
Your civilization is extremely productive, unimaginably content and the envy of others. Often achieved during Golden Ages, after greatly successful wars or if you manage to dwarf the scientific researching of other cultures.

Economic
---------------------
Your civilization has over +500 income OR you have over 10,000 gold. Often achieved during Golden Ages, after a great plunder of another rich nation or by having massive money sources.

Universal Trade
---------------------
If you manage to set up a trade route with every person playing ( after sailing, you can trade with any coastal nation so long as you have available trade routes, with Co-Existence you can trade with any peaceful nation regardless of borders or available trade routes ), you win. Often achieved during Revolutions, periods of peace or during years where other nations are desperate to recover from war ( or are in a war ).

Diplomatic
---------------------
You are voted as the Emperor of the Known World.

Domination
---------------------
You have united the entire Known World ( excluding Barbarians ) under one Banner. Often achieved by early warmongers, friendly traitors or scientific powerhouses.

Religious
---------------------
At least 80% of the known world's populations practice your religion ( when given the option of Monotheism/Polytheism, you are also required to either found your own Mono/Polytheistic Religion or practice another's ).

plus fizzer and co are fucking tits

mmmm tits

I'm in, this looks awesome. The Italian Victory is way to easy BTW, all the other ones are much harder than it.

Well, cconsidering most start out with 1 territory or none ( players will be benched to act as necessary, I.e. revolutionaries or revolts ). I could bump it to Hispania and Africa too if need be.

Am in if this is still a thing.

My ally yeezus theory is taking a while to make the map I require. .. I will probably put out a public map making request if I have to wait a while longer.

... Nerd Boner Achieved

Is this project still being worked on? And which kind of map do you require?
I´d really like to join this one.

I'm having a difficulty with mapmaking. I'll probably post in Map Development for a public mapmaking contest on what I want/need. Otherwise, the game is good-for-go atm.

iight i've been busy with school recently, I'll have it done by tommorow.

K.
