Request! The Tech Tree!

[Fisherking]

No one has a hard copy except those with American Special Forces Editions or Collectors Editions.

Would one of you be so good as to post a shot of it?

It would be much appreciated by the rest of the world’s fans!

theres a post of the military one in the request a screenshot thread IIRC.

Where do I find that?

Where do I find that?

That is what I was wondering.

I went back to page 6 and haven't found it yet!

Search tool is your friend!

Search this subforum for threads started by polemists. with the word Request.

ill edit this post with a link

edit: oh bother, it doesnt have that screenshot...

Its in a thread about bayonets...

edit2: Gee Whiz, I cant find it at all!

I'll take a few screenies later.

[Eusebius86]

pevergreen, thanks for the screenies. Is it just me, or does the third one look all funky...

[A Very Super Market]

Funky? How?

[Fisherking]

Thanks pevergreen.

I guess I was expecting something like what we got with MTW.

It is a bit more like what we got on the back of the map for RTW.

I had hoped for something that not only showed them but also explained what they did.

I guess we will have to wait for some one to do that, if we ever have it, other than in game.

[pevergreen]

You just gotta right click to find that out. Lots of good background text there.

ok guys, is this the only tech tree or does a second one get unlocked in a later time period? just curious as im playing as the dutch and am within 10-15 turns of finishing this tech tree, yet its only 1740 or something. I seem to remember them saying its nearly impossible for any 1 faction to unlock all techs, so it seemed a bit odd.
Thanks!

Is that Sweden invading Britain in those screenshots? Or is it another factions, it's good to see the AI doing such things.

How come you can do research at Oxford, but I can't?

Oxford starts out as a Church school, not a School. You'll have to dismantle it and build the 'school' line of buildings.

[pevergreen]

You can finish it, I'm guessing they just didnt expect you to go all out teching. Its not exactley easy to research fast.

So, let me see if I can remember the infantry/cavalry line, from top to bottom:

Plug bayonet Carbines
Ring bayonet Square formation
Some kind of organisational thing
Socket bayonet Cadence marching Wedge formation Rank firing
Some improved bayonet Diamond formation
Improved supply org. Advancing fire
Light inf. doctrine Shortened carbines
Platoon fire
Machined rifling
(Darn, don't remember) Percussion cap

Edit: oh, you can finish it if you have lots of schools. By dint of conquest, I have ~8 and I'm nearly done (it's ~1740).

Edit2: Can anyone think of a way of figuring out if the one province minors have truncated tech trees or very advanced tech? By about halfway through the game, I could trade any military tech to them.

[pevergreen]

They probably don't have any schools.

On another note, I'm out for this week. Expect my posting times to be cut in half, then half again.

I figured out why I couldn't remember that last tech: Prussia doesn't get it!

That makes it cut by 75%

The tech trees are not nearly as big and complicated as I expected, but since we didn't even have them in previous games, I won't complain about it.
