Time To Tech

Time to tech

A few days ago I came across [url="http://forums.gaspowered.com/viewtopic.php?t=35858"]this[/url] request for a mod. I liked to idea so I decided to expand the mod posted in that thread, it was put together in a hurry.
My version of the mod is now ready, I've named it "Time to tech". Thanks to Meredith by the way, our little brainstorm session was very useful! This name is not half as lame (if it is) as some of the other names I came up with...

What does it do?

All players start with access to tech 1 only. As time passes progressing tech levels become available. 2 minutes after the game began a vote starts, to decide the time interval between progressing tech levels. There are 4 options to vote: 15 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes and random.

Notes

- Only human players get to vote. When observing an AI game the time interval defaults to 15 minutes
- This mod respects unit restrictions set in the lobby
- It appears to work in conjunction with Phantom-N although I did not test this combination extensively
- Didn't test online play over GPGnet

Known bugs

- Sorian AI 1.9.2 to 1.9.9c (and possibly later versions) have a bug that cause the game to lock up after 4 to 15 minutes. I recommend using Sorian 1.9.1 or a version newer than 1.9.9c instead.
