The SETI Program may be built when your civilization acquires the advance
of Computers. Thereafter, the knowledge generated by your cities is increased by
50%, unless the Program is destroyed or captured by a rival. The SETI Program
costs 600 resources to complete.
Women’s Suffrage: A phenomenon of the cultural, philosophical, and social
changes that followed the Industrial Revolution has been a steadily increasing
respect for the rights and abilities of women. Women demanded and won the
franchise of the vote, first in Western Democracies, after demonstrating their
ability to perform well almost any job while the men were off to war. This
symbolic freeing from historic social hierarchies has led to increasing practical
freedom, at least in the West.
Women’s Suffrage becomes available after the advance of Industrialization.
Under a Republic or Democracy, units away from their home city create one less
unhappy citizen than normal for a civilization that possesses Women’s Suffrage. It
costs 600 resources to achieve.
United Nations: The United Nations is an international organization that meets
to solve international problems through diplomacy. Its goal is world peace and
security. It offers a forum for debate and also works to aid the economic and
technical development of poorer nations.
Building the United Nations is a great
achievement for a civilization. It is available
after the advance of Communism. During
negotiations with other civilizations, they
always offer to make peace with you. This
allows at least a temporary resolution to all wars
you are engaged in. The United Nations costs
600 resources to build.

to build parts and also allows you to see the location of all cities in the world. The
Apollo Program costs 600 resources to build.
Cure for Cancer: Of the diseases that continue to plague humankind, cancer
remains one of the most feared and deadly. Despite huge efforts to find a cure for
this malady, it continues to reap its toll each year. The developing science of
genetic engineering offers new hope for a cure.
After the development of the advance of Genetic Engineering, you may work
on the Cure for Cancer. Possessing the Cure creates +1 happy citizen in all cities
of your civilization. The Cure for Cancer costs 600 resources.
Hoover Dam: Huge hydroelectric power sources were first developed in the
United States during the 1930s and have since been built throughout the world.
Converting the kinetic energy of falling water into electric power has proven to be
a relatively cheap and environmentally sound method of generating electricity.
The Hoover Dam may be built after the advance of Electronics is acquired. The
Dam provides electric power to all cities on the same continent, increasing the
resources generated by the city by 50%. In addition, the Dam reduces the
probability of pollution from these cities. The Hoover Dam costs 600 resources
to build.
Manhattan Project: The Manhattan Project was the codename for the theoretical
and practical development of atomic weapons. Once completed, the world’s
future immediately was in doubt because the weapons it made possible threatened
extinction for all life on Earth. But these weapons also offered an umbrella of
peace due to their destructive capability. Massive global war became obsolete
because all participants were doomed, win or lose.
Now, surviving the Nuclear Age and environmental poisoning are the two
greatest challenges of industrial civilization.
Once any civilization completes the Manhattan Project, all civilizations in the
world may begin building nuclear weapons, if they have the proper technology.
The Manhattan Project itself may be built once the advance of Nuclear Fission
has been achieved. The Project costs 600 resources to build.
SETI Program: The search for extra-terrestrial intelligence is a research effort set
up to find an answer for one of humankind’s most nagging questions: Are we the
only intelligent life in the universe? Being the first civilization to contact other
intelligent life brings great glory and perhaps technological advantages.
