We're a bit surprised ourselves - but this is the fourth road map for Morgenröte! We can proudly say that we not only completed the last one - artists now function as well as academics, and with the painters and writers we have significantly expanded the cultural sector - but that we even finished it on time after six months.

This raises the question: what will we be modding for the next six months?

Some specific information already exists. Before 1.7 we had already added some new scientific technologies, including modern physics and nuclear physics. You may also have noticed the volcanoes that were added as a modifier to some states.

On Discord, users could also vote on which topic they were most interested in. The choices were modern physics, geology, ethnology, sport and architecture. These were the results:

Architecture: 24 votes
Sports: 19 votes
Modern Physics: 18 votes
Geology:10 votes
Ethnology: 10 votes

Architecture would actually be a topic that would really interest me. The architect would be a fourth artist who would modernize the capital. Keyword: Vienna Ringstrasse, Haussman renovation, but also the London Sewer System from Bazalgette. The Vienna Ringstrasse monument, as well as the events and JEs previously available for Art Nouveau and Art Deco, would be generalized. The goal would then be to expand your capital into a modern, aesthetic and livable metropolis. This feature will be integrated later this year, but it will take some time.

In sports, we introduced the new speed flights after the survey. We are planning to add the car races and the football World Cup soon. The invention of the bicycle is also an interesting topic.

As seen above, Modern Physics with the discovery of radioactivity, quantum theory and nuclear fission would have been a topic targeted next. Finally, the rare uranium that has already been introduced is also said to have a further meaning - so far it is only used in physics institutes and in the production of uranium tableware. Physicists would have become the next academics.

However, I noticed during implementation that there are some hurdles that cannot be overcome without preliminary work. From a scientific perspective, it may be banal that without the preparatory work of chemistry in the 19th century it is difficult to understand the development of modern physics in the early 20th century. But it has also been shown from a modding perspective that the discovery of radioactivity, for example, is a chemical and physical phenomenon that hangs in a vacuum without the implementation of chemistry.

Therefore, surprisingly (yes, this is surprising to ourselves), the chemist will be the next scientist, as his work intersects with several academic fields. This includes astronomy (think of the discovery of helium). In the future, chemists will also carry out analyzes of meteorite rocks. Interactions with paleontologists and archaeologists also seem useful.

Mainly, the chemist will theorize, discover and isolate new elements. This period includes the creation of the periodic table - something you can do yourself with your nation if you have a suitable chemist. Appropriately, this project is called “Mendeleev”. The discovery of new elements brings knowledge and prestige; However, it has often happened that elements were discovered incorrectly, which then turned out to be only compounds...

The second academic who has already been confirmed is the geologist. We have been planning geology since the Dubois update (almost a year), because geology touches on a number of academic areas that we have already introduced. Furthermore, the search for minerals is fundamental to chemistry in order to discover new elements. At the same time, geological and paleontological knowledge have complemented each other.

This project will be called "Agassiz". In the future, geological formations and caves will be discovered by geologists who can search for minerals or find new deposits there, but also in states with special modifiers (ore deposits). At the same time, they can carry out volcanological research and set up volcanological observatories. The first seismograph can also be created in collaboration with engineers. The crowning achievement of a geologist's career is determining the age of the Earth and the theory of plate tectonics.

This would give us a scientist from the mathematical and technical field and one from the natural history field. Someone from the anthropological field is now missing. We are currently leaning towards adding the physician next. This would not only give us the opportunity to create synergies with the chemist, but also with an architect - diseases such as cholera and tuberculosis were both a medical and urban challenge. Disease and population growth are also still an area in Victoria that has some historical shortcomings. Some medical milestones are already being reflected in technologies, but their discovery and application have not yet been sufficiently appreciated. The invention of basketball, a national sport that has yet to be developed, would also be possible with a physician.

In addition: With the introduction of the chemist and the physician, the only thing missing is the physicist to get closer to the goal of simulating the Nobel Prize. But that may be a topic for the next road map.
