Slow technology

Is there any way to slow discover technology?

Mod their costs?

A file called Advance.txt in your ...\ctp2_data\default\gamedata folder, you can change the science costs there.

Code:

ADVANCE_ADV_INFANTRY_TACTICS {

   Prerequisites ADVANCE_NAVAL_AVIATION
   Prerequisites ADVANCE_VERTICAL_FLIGHT_AIRCRAFT

   Cost 43080
   Icon ICON_ADVANCE_ADV_INFANTRY_TACTICS
   Branch 0
   Age AGE_THREE
}

Maq, is there any way you know of modding all the costs from one place or do you have to change every tech's cost?

Every techs cost sorry mate.

Someone should write a shell to do things like this, eh?

Yes, CTPEdit does has this feature.

But alternativly the values for the AI_MIN_AHEAD_TECHNOLOGY_COST, AI_MAX_AHEAD_TECHNOLOGY_COST and HUMAN_SCIENCE_BONUS could be modified in the DiffDB.txt.

Forgot about that.

If you want to get seriously nazi on the science, start trimming branches until there's only one path - that way, you'll know who has what, when, and for how much.

also in DiffDB.txt you can increase the value after SCIENCE_HANDICAP, which effectively increases by x the amount of science required to obtain advances. So that if an advance requires 242 science to obtain and you entered 1000 in the SCIENCE_HANDICAP field, the advance now requires 1242 to obtain. You have to do this for all difficulty levels however.
