Paul: I know. I have a savegame from the scenario creation process that isn't a scenario. When I tested it, the techs went exactly according to oedo's table. Sorry for wording things wrong. |

Oedo, you should set the name of this thread more cleverly  , I would not do the same work again. Fortunately, I started my research by changing rules.txt to "nil-only file" (all preqs set to nil) , so it was relatively easy. Result is the same as your formula, of course.I started new topic ("The system of advances in Civ2") in Civ2-General/Help/Community couple days ago...I think I will move it here. I made a program that helps to plan the scientific research: http://home-1.worldonline.cz/~cz045662/civadvan/civ2plan.htm#civ2plan
I have just read all this thread, but I am confused. What is a result of this discussion? Is "oedo's law" correct everytime or not?

Slowthinker, although many of us have a 'bad feeling' about such techs as Warrior Code and were previously convinced that it wrought havoc on later research paths (there seems to be some evidence of this in OCC logs in particular) since oedo published 'The Law' none of us have come up with reproducable evidence of any flaws ... so although we may still harbour private reservations we currently must accept that 'The Law' is the law. It is a heck of a lot better than anything we had previously!!!Good civin' (and welcome)   ------------------

SlowThinker, I downloaded your program (all three versions) but I don´t see any way to get it started. I always get a runtime error message. how does it work?btw. anyone has been able to disproove my theory meanwhile?  |

Oedo,
3rd version should be the best (if there are no new bugs).
Could you post me that error message?
What is your operating system?

win98seeach time I start the program I get Runtime error 003 at 00CD:00DF do I have to copy the program into a specific folder? do I need to start civ2 before I run it? I think I have no idea of how to use the program anyway. maybe a small readme.txt can help out here |

I agree, I plan to put help into .txt file for version 0.4. But I am waiting for some bugs now (more reasons to do that new version).Program
1. writes following message "This program helps to plan the research of advances for the game Civilization II"
2. searches for rules.txt in the "working folder/directory" (this folder is set in civ2plan.exe/properties/program). If the file is not found there then a message "Error: file RULES.TXT is missing" appears and the program halts. Otherwise program reads rules.txt and start to work. (Civ2 needn't run. Just rules.txt is needed.) I am confused.
Theoretically, that runtime error cannot arise... (in version 0.3. I have no source code for old versions now).
Did a message "This program helps to plan the research of advances for the game Civilization II" appear?
Do you get the same runtime error for all versions?
Where do you start the program from? Explorer, windows commander...? Edited:
Copy civ2plan.exe and rules.txt into one directory, then restart to pure DOS and try to run it under DOS...

aargh, I know why! I have the german version where the rules.txt is called rules.ger. I tried with the old rules.txt from 2.42, now it works.  |

Good work, oedo, this was one of these things that mystified me for a long time. |

For all that the program behaves unexpectedly.
I would expect a message
"Error: file RULES.TXT is missing" in place of "Runtime error 003 at 00CD:00DF".
Could you find out situations when that runtime error occurs? |

I discovered this topic only yesterday, that is why I react so late.So, in the case you have Bronze Working from start, whatever you 2 first researches are (alphab.-Cerem or alpha.-CoL), then on the 3rd tech, the 'joker' will be CoL or Cerem, and the on the 4th monarchy will be available?
I tried yesterday... and it works! Don't care about which one you must research first, it works!!!!
Halleluya, praise the lord, a king is born, rejoice, good news in heaven and on earth !!!
Bronze Working, brothers and sisters, that's the way to kingdom... you just need to be lucky... hmm, sorry, I think I was a little too enthusiastic, please apologize...sorry, really sorry.
