Ban certain technologies

: 1.) samiam has made a mod to change the tech costs. As he say, it may crash StdAI

More to the point, the AI doesn't play as well when the tech cost goes up. My experience is that the Standard AI sometimes gets confused when tech gets really expensive and just gives up after building a couple of cities; SETI (Frank's AI and probably C-evo's strongest AI) doesn't build a navy, which really handicaps it on an earthlike (lots of water) planet with slow tech.

But, if you want to look at it, my hacks for C-evo to increase the tech cost and foodbox size (city growth rate) are here:

More useful is my hack which fixes C-evo 1.1.1's bug on Netbook (1024x600) screens. Steffen: I hope you saw my email describing this and fix C-evo on Netbook screens for the next C-evo release.

As for changing the tech tree, the reason this isn't possible is because the AIs can't handle it. See this posting for my notes on this subject:

If you want a free Civilization variant which allows more rules hacking:
