Civ4TechInfos
From Civilization Modding Wiki
The Civ4TechInfos file defines all of the information, basic and complex, about each of the game's technologies. Information in this file includes a tech's prerequisites, research cost, and benefits.
All tags must be opened and closed; the first is the "open", the second the "close" tag. If nothing goes inside a "list tag", then it should just be the opening tag with a "/" before the closing bracket. The following tables contain all available tags, as well as their purpose and accepted values.
This page is missing information. Do not remove this notice until it is complete.
