Tech Trees really just do re-package the whole "Stone age bronze age iron age steam gas atom jet whatever the fuck" mythos, don't they? Like often literally by name.
That and reinforcing ideas about non-European cultures that are harmful. Shit like "Native Americans didn't invent the wheel because they spent all their tax money on war instead of science." Not like the real reason, which is wheels are fucking useless without large pack animals.
The first invented wheels weren’t even for transportation, they were grinding wheels which even further erodes their point.

Mills and also Pottery wheels, which arguably predate any solid evidence of wheel’d transportation
I just thought you had a nice play on words with "grinding wheels which erodes their point"
Lmao, I see now. I wish I could be half as clever on purpose sometimes
Even then, many large pack animals aren't all that. The first 500 years after the collapse of western Rome was dominated by camels and limited road infrastructure.
Water is and remains the most efficient way to transport goods.
Yeh. Mules, camels, goats, and dogs are good logistics animals. The rest of them are a bit rubbish.
