Tech Tree?

[Andrelvis]

Are we going to have a tech tree? I'm guessing yes, so what techs are said to be in?

Do you mean similar to HOI? I was thinking it would be similar to EU?

I haven't played HOI, but I was thinking actually along the lines of Vicky or Crusader Kings

From the sound of things it will be a fair amount like Vicky. Reach a tech level and then inventions start triggering based on certain factors.

I suspect there may also be a similarity to CK in the way that civilization level may work with technology, but I don't think we've seen a definitive answer that sort of thing.

To me it sounded like CK tech spread where you focus but aren't guaranteed a particular technology, but if your neighbors have it then you are more likely to research it successfully.

I thought that once you researced a tech, you don't get its benefits right away, so this might impact the tree. As what if you never "discover" a technology.

I thought that the tech AI is a little bit between CK and EU3. You can research a tech but that doesn`t mean it will be available straight away. If you don`t have the correct resources then you can not implement the tech you developed.

I do think they're missing a bit of an opportunity here, especially when it comes to military technologies. Throughout history, most military developments were based on experience in the field, but this has never been reflected in Paradox' game. Personally, I would've liked seeing active warfare and battles contribute to a country's military advancements.
