Newbee needs some help

from GalCiv2 Forums
Ok,
I tried to do some searching on this but I'm new at this whole modding thing. I LOVE GC II but I want to make the tech vine into more of a tree. For example in order to get Phasers you would need to not only have all the laser type techs but also Hull design. I will have to look at the tech tree in depth to figure out how I want to do this exactly.

I have the original GC II with out any updates.....I know I know I sould do this but I don't have internet at home. ( long story)

So the questions are:
1) If I go into the techs and see the requirments I can just add the other necessary techs you have to have in order to get the new one.

2) If I totally mess stuff up can I "reset" the game to the original mode.

3) Any tips

Thanks in advance

No, multiple requirements do not work correctly as the game was not designed to handle them, so this sort of mod is not really feasible.

If you do make changes to the base files, make backup copies of them first. The only way to recover them if you alter your only copies is to reinstall.

Thanks,
