New technologies

[unmerged(38672)]

I haven´t bought Doomsday yet, but I have tried the new editor a bit with the Demo. It is very tempting to use the new feature to create and include own technologies and doctrines and add them to the existing tech trees. As far as I´ve seen, this can now be done.

Has anyone tried this? I fear that even if it can be done, it will not work properly, since AI has not been programmed for them and will not "understand" them or research them properly.

Havent tried it, but the tech preferences for the AI is in the script files so it should be quite possible for you to mod if you bother

I believe you can't add new techs easily, rather exchange existing ones with something you created.

The AI chooses techs by its id, specified in the AI-Scripts. You can change it as you like. As long as the new techs are roughly in line with the tech-trees, you don't need bothering
