Well, the other idea doesn't work either. Though it might be interesting for another game. If you edit the max tech level down, then start a max tech game, then change everything back, the result is a max tech game..except you still have whatever tech you modded down available for research.

Yeah, this does sound interesting. Also you could modify the tech area.txt to change the "raise level" entries and then start a medium tech game. The result would be a medium tech game, but with selected techs advanced farther then normal.

As to whether we do this as a mod game or not. I really don't care, but I don't want to limit the field. I understand some people haven't quite got the hang of using the mod picker utility.

If we went with a mod though it would be an extremly simple one. I would only need to modify one file, the techarea.txt file.
