Faction Specific Techs?

**random_samurai** · April 10, 2009, 01:00 PM

Does anyone know if it's possible? (I'm currently away from my regular PC at university)

My train of thought on this stems from a possible uniqueness of a faction due to its available techs and their bonuses. (In my case Teppo Cavalry for the Date, and possible writings like the Kyujukyu Kakun for the Takeda)

You should look into the differences in factions between the natives and the europeans in the database.... i know that the natives have a very limited set of technology... and along side that they have no school buildings so they can't actually research anything.

It is possible - for example, Austria gets a special tech for the grenzer unit, which no other faction has. I think a few other factions also have "special" techs for elite units, but i can't recall the details atm.

Excellent, I'll check it out after break.

Yeah, there's the air rifle tech, which I think is faction specific. I'd love some more of these faction specifics.

The breech loaded rifle tech, making Ferguson rifles available, are specific to Britain as well.
Unless I'm completely out kicking buckets in a strawberry field.

Noticed this aswell.

[Well, actually, i've noticed playing as Scotland modded in, they have Ferguson's in their roster, that require a certain tech, except for the fact that... Scotland don't get that tech...]

This is something definitely worth looking into.
I would like to see more variety in technology, especially for the eastern factions. For example these factions could get a tech "European navy doctrine", so that they have a choice between building their native ship models or the European-style ships of the line.

tech faction junction tables is a good place to start if you want to add more tech. Of course after editing tech table and tech effect junction tables.
