Alternate Civics Tree

Description
Civics tree progress is now connected to tech tree progress. No more runaway progress on the civics tree.

One of my biggest complaints about Civ VI is the disconnect between Civics and Techs. Social policies and civics are linked to technological progress in the real world. This mod aims to fix that.

This is inspired by Civ IV and Civ V where civics and policies are linked to techs and eras.

Each era begins with a gateway civic that requires a 100% boost from a technology in the same era.

Gateway civics have a very high cost to meter progress.

Culture victory is still possible. Each era is set up as an individual tree similar to Civ 5 social policies. When you unlock the next era you are free to choose civics from that era. Gateway civics only require the previous era's gateway civic with a couple of exceptions. This way you can move on to the next era if you choose. You are not required to linger in earlier eras.

This is designed to work with the vanilla tech tree. If you are using a modified tech tree "Alternate Civics Tree" may not work as intended.

Thank you very much for this mod.
I really recommend playing this mod with these 2 others. Like that you would have a game in which the techs and civics are really blocked by time.

I was playing around with this mod and I noticed a couple things, Kupe because he has shipbuilding from the start completes the classical antiquity civic and gains access that era's civics right away so that may be an unintended bug.
Also if you where to make all era gateways need every previous era's civics like a pre-requisite i think it would work like a bottleneck better forcing people to catch up in technology.
Other than that I like the idea of this mod encouraging technology and culture to work together.

Interesting, I like the idea.
But how will this work with Real Tech Tree and Extended Techtree [GS]?

Does the AI work with this?

@JNR I like the idea of a repeatable tech at the end of each era. That way you’re not throwing away culture points. I’m not sure how the AI would handle it though.

YES! It is SO ANNOYING to be in the medieval era techwise and in the industrial era civicwise, destroys the balance of the game IMO.

I've been thinking about such a solution as well, what about a repeatable civic you can research instead if you reach the end of an era early (due to technical limitations, it would probably be always available), which gives extra envoys and governor points?
