Mauryas Wicker Basket

Wicker Baskets under Specific Technologies in Mauryas civilization overview.

Hey, the tech exist so what it the issue? 

[Deicide4u]

@Dakara, the tech exists for everyone, not just Mauryans.

That's why it's not a tech specific to them. Hence, it's a bug in the UI.

I just try with carthage, no exist

In their case it's paired with Ahimsa, I guess that's why it's there.

Maurya has 2 tech (  a choice)

Yes, probably because it's a pair tech for them.

It would be nice if it was clearer that they disable each other.

it is very clear already

In the civilization overview and tech tree.

I think only Ahimsa should be there as Wicker Basket is available for every Civ, is not an specific tech for Mauryas.

Thanks @guerringuerrin for filing Issue #8367 (Wicker Baskets incorrectly listed as Mauryan specific technology in Civilization Overview)!

@Stan`  @wowgetoffyourcellphone

By removing "{ "civ": "maur" }" from "simulation\data\technologies\gather_wicker_baskets_maur.json", I was able to eliminate Wicker Baskets as a civilization-specific technology from the Civilization Overview section without breaking its functionality in the game (it still appears as a pair tech of Ahimsa and produces the desired effects).
However, I’m not sure if this is the proper way to fix it. Could you confirm?
Thanks

It might make the tech available to other civs, maybe for example if you capture a maury farmstead  Should be checked..

[guerringuerrin]

Thanks for your answer, @Atrik
Yeah i've just checked and it doesnt make tech available for other civs when farmstead is captured. Only if that play didnt research Wicker Baskets already. So it looks like it's working good. Doesn't look like the correct way to accomplish this, tho

[guerringuerrin]

Maybe, @Vantha can help me with this?

@guerringuerrin your hack is perfectly suited for this. As you said, the likelihood of not having Wicker Baskets researched until you can capture an enemy maury farmstead then research Ahimsa is very very edge case... And wouldn't even break anything.

If you really want to hustle it, here two 'long-term' improvements ideas:

• Support template attribute to mark as 'non-civ specific' techs and structure to be ignored in civ overview
• Support paired techs to use existing 'normal' techs (Ideal)

I understand. That doesn't happen anyway, even without investigating WickerBasket.

Oh ok, I misunderstood what you meant previously then..
So if this create 0 issues, others techs that would do something similar wouldn't have either, in mods or in future balancing stuff, I guess you already have the proper solution then.

[Player of 0AD]

The places of the icons of both techs need to be swapped urgently, they are both at the wrong place. Wicker basket needs to be left from the plough, not above that.
