Hi guys, first a general question:

how should a good Techtree look like? Do you prefer the style like Iron Cross and Mod34 are using? That means detailed trees and techs are linked extensively. Or do you prefer vanilla-style with but sometimes unplausible simple strings?
 
I've never tried those mods, but if it's something like the tree of Modern Day Scenario 2, I'd keep the things as simple as possible.

I had to look how it looks in MDS2 :), but there it is handled like in Vanilla. Maybe we should distinguish between clarity and simplicity. I like the complexity of IC's TT, but it lacks clarity, that's why some find that it sucks.
 
I'm not going to vote, but ol wenny might like vanilla - I'd like to see the mod's AI and depth improve first, and tech trees second.
