In Simcity 2000 during game set up the invention date of each technological development is randomly generated and set in NewGameSetup. These dates are a combination of a base year for the invention of that technology sourced from an array and a random number between 0 and 19 of years from that year. If the base year is BEFORE but not the Year of the city's founding, the technology is automatically invented although this seems bugged for New games started from the main menu.
for (i=0;i<17;i++)
{
InventionDate = rand() % 20u + dataInventionBaseYears[i];
