This is a group project idea, like Age of Antiquity based on the Renaissance era. This is somewhat of a remake of AOE3, but the time frame is 1450(Three years before the siege of Constantinople)-1648(The end of the 30 Years' War).
It will start out with a small list of civs, and will eventually get a bigger list as people suggest more and more civs. Each person will pick a civ, and then research each of their civ or civs to the best of your abilities, then fill out a tech tree in the format that I will below.

Here is a list of current civilizations, please make suggestions, I want this to eventually have civs from all over the world...
