[Question] Differentiating Techs

from Elemental Forums

Is it possible to generate the specialized techs directly from each different towns?  What I mean is civ tech, warfare tech, and magic tech?  I would like to make it that each tech is generated from each city type but I don't know how to make this happen.  Would be really interesting if a faction uses primarily fortress city type and researched warfare  techs but not be gimped by it, such as Trogs.  Anywho just an idea.

Not exactly sure what you mean.  You can have a specific tech unlocked when you build a certain improvement though if that helps.

Think he is saying he wants each town to generate a certain type of tech, as in towns would generate civic research, fortresses would generate warfare research, and conclaves would generate magic research, for example.

That sounds like you'd be researching 3 techs at a time this way, and I have no idea if that is hard-coded or not. Seems like it would be.

That is what I was asking, if each tech is research-able on its own like the knowledge you generate when you focus tech research into each area and then is trade-able.  I would rather generate each tech directly from the different city specializations so you could differentiate your faction AI's more by saying one is more warfare focused, one is more civ focused, and one is more magic focused or any combination of the three.

Interesting idea, but what's the fun factor ? And the AI would have further troubles it certainly does not need...
