Civics Tree Research Labs

This mod changes Research Labs to unlock with Ideology in the civics tree, rather than Chemistry in the tech tree. This mirrors how Broadcast Centers require Radio in the tech tree, and is ideal for players who want there to be more challenge in pursuing science-heavy empires, as there will be some punishment for neglecting culture completely. For balanced empires, research labs should still unlock at about the same time, as the unlock has been changed from a late modern tech to a late modern civic.

This mod should be compatible with all other mods unless they remove the Ideology civic.
