Sugestions for ancient history computer game

helo, folks, i'm currently working on a strategy game based around the birth of civilization. i't'd be a game based arround 3 resources: food, money, and sophistication. the first two are obvious, the third would influence the rate at which your civilization would discover new technological advancements, and would depend on luxuries you provided your citizens with: pottery, woolen clothes, etc.

what i'd like to ask you guys is some suggestions on influential technological advances and a bit of information on how it they were discovered and how they influenced the life of people. these technological could be purelly civic or even recreational, as well as militaristic, etc.

example
pottery -  would be one of the first technologies to be discovered, aparently it predates even agriculture in some cultures, it'd increase food revenues, as food preserves better when stored, as well as provide luxury to citizens

i may talk a bit more about the game if you guys are interested

Speaking of which, has anyone seen that abomination by Microsoft? Age of Empires Online?

What....have....they.....doooooonnnnnneeeeeeee??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

i've registered. posting to track the thread

well, that sounds like wonderful material. i'm looking for a special kind of historical accuracy, in my game you wouldn't play any extant civilizations, but rather create your own, including designing military units.
as of now i'm creating the game as a mod for warcraft 3, just as a proof of concept, as it requires less commitment than creating your own engine and warcraft's engine is extremelly powerfull.
