Advanced Tech Trees

id agree that temples are probably your best choice here.

Well I was thinking of using temples at first but I thought the tech tree wasn't big enough ie. there were not enough temples to fit in all the buildings we need. You see once the core building is built all the new lines of tech have completely different buildings but with temples they all have to be shrine, temple, large temple etc. no matter what God you choose. Also we want to use the temples as temples so we can have basic religion but then more advanced missionary buildings that help weeken opponents.

The first suggestion you made sounds great although I can't write scripts to save my life so I would need some help from someone. This is a bit down the line from here, it won't happen for a while yet though.

That isn't a script, that's just an extra conditional in your export_descr_buildings. Scripts are great, but they can't do everything!

So I just add extra conditionals in? I haven't really explored all this yet, I'm just a modeller. Well that doesn't sound too difficult anyway so I will try that. Thanks for the help guys.

There are a lot of temple complexes, so you could probably use some for the different tech-tree's base building, and still have enough left over.

You only need the one 'mutually exclusive' building line for each tech-tree, as you can then include a requirement for all the other buildings in that tech-tree that the 'base/core' building is there.

That's what I was planning to do anyway but just use conditionals to make ordinary base level buildings (level 1) needed to build the others and then use temples as temples. I want to leave the temples because the Zulus still need the temples. Thanks
