Plumbing??? Full PM-box? Change here!

I saw this advance in the Rules.txt file but it is not available in normal game.

Anyone know what it is?

It is a placeholder tech that you can use without having to use any of your extra techs at the bottom of the rules text file. You just have to activate it.

Got spare money?

PLU is Plumbing tech. In their creative madness, Civ 2 authors ( and i mean the very first version ) left this tech free in order to personalize other techs. By giving "Plu, nil," as prerequisite, you'll be able to forbid other civilizations to research what i call a "tribal tech"...
Maybe this will explain you better... go to my Classic Civilization Home Page , then download Antigonos scenario ( both versions, if you have FW, because graphic files are placed into MGE modpack), then take a look at Rules.txt file. Antigonids and their opponents, thanks to this trick, are able to build a peculiar tribal unit:
Antigonids) Flamethrower
Seleucids) Elephants
Tolemaics) cheapest ships
Lisimacids) Thracian light infantry... and so on.
Not to be mentioned that, by acting this way, you can create historical figures also ( but i don't want to waste the surprise... ).

Is this how you create the units like the blimp and such or am i off base here? I always thought adding a tech or two would be fun. You can add up to four can't you?

Tired of ads?

There are three User Defined Techs and if you take out plumbing then there are four. I added a couple for more advanced units. One of my techs is Advanced Rocketry for instance.
