Realm Management as a 4x game?

Thinking outloud again. Apologies if this annoys people. I am just trying to make sure I write this down.

I found a useful site for technologies here This I think would be very useful for determining which technology should be in which category per tech level.

Thanks everyone.

One important aspect in strategy video games like Civilization or the Paradox games is that there are changes that are more structural and societal than just advancements in technology. And those are important too, but much harder to evaluate what their impacts are. For example, changing from politeistic religions to monoteistic; a feudal society changing from having power at the hands of the nobility to have it centralized with the kings; the structure of power drifting from the aristocrats (who were MILITARY leaders) to the hands of merchants. Or, for example, one thing that sociologists point out to be a major difference between western and eastern civilizations, in that western civilizations are based on GUILTY - that is, an INDIVIDUAL, internal worry about doing what is believed to be right DESPITE OF WHAT ANYBODY MAY THINK, and the eastern civilizations, which are SHAME based - meaning that their main concern is about "saving face", and that fundamental difference makes the west be Individualist while the east is collectivist.

Those differences in culture, perhaps even artistic expressions, are a lot harder to measure and to emulate how impactful they are in a game thou, but they may be worth a try

Thanks, I seemed to have missed your post number 4. Or, more likely, forgot it four pages later...
