Is there a chart showing all unit upgrade paths in Civilization 5 Brave New World?

Question

Is there a chart showing the upgrade paths for the units? Something like

Warrior → Spearman → Pikeman...

I made a basic version which is generated directly from the game files, and includes all unique units:

Notes:

Each column represents one era.
Dotted lines represent upgrades by ruins.
Grey lines represent special UU upgrade paths.
The unit "combat type", listed under the unit name, controls which promotions are available to it.
Missiles and non-combat units cannot be upgraded and are omitted from the chart for brevity.

What did you use to generate this? – dlras2 Jul 10 '13 at 21:22

@DanRasmussen a Python script to extract the data from the game data files and Graphviz for laying out the graph. – Oak Jul 10 '13 at 21:26

+1, graphviz. (Why didn't you export it as svg though?) Also if you have some control on the Graphviz output, you could try make the Scout-Archer edge more evident by changing the edge to (say) scout:e -> archer:e – badp Jul 10 '13 at 21:39

@badp good idea, but ended up using the minlen attribute, worked well. – Oak Jul 11 '13 at 04:35
@Oak, you must be a good game programmer or the 'other one' (the good game hacker and crack maker) +1 though.=D – Mark Jul 30 '13 at 08:02
Thanks a lot for this effort and awesomely useful product, bro. – Rok Jan 23 '16 at 01:39
