| The Master of Orion - Tech Tree |
In this post we will deal about how is organised the technology upgrade in our game.
Tech Tree
First of all, you must know that our game is based on a tech tree divided 5 different branch of development, that are the following :
- Economy : Is divided in 2 points. The first one is energy pool upgrade and the second is income upgrade.
- Defence : Defence branch is based on the planet shield. It able to increase the shield regeneration, shield pool or it could even increase the shield resistance against kind of attack.
- Science : This branch is designed to improve the of resources,as an example it could reduce the cost of energy used by shield destroyers.
- Weaponery : It is used to increase characteristics of different type of weapon as damage and leak.
- Religion : This last branch able to upgrade impact of the Faith Powers of the Nation played.
James has designed a "meta" Tech Tree :

That's a "meta" Tech Tree, in the near future each item will be designed for the different Nation in function of their own characteristics
Tech Points
Introduction :
In order to unlock Tech Tree items, you must used "Tech Points". The amount of Tech Points varies according to the tier, the branch and the upgrade provided. As an example the upgrade of your ultim Faith Power (Tier 3 Religion) will required a huge amount of Tech Points, whereas a simple energy upgrade (Tier 1 Economy) will required a low amount.
How get Tech Points :
Tech Points are a resource, and as a resource you should gather it. However, in contrary of a traditional resource, workers can't be used to get it. There are 2 means, the first is a over time mechanic which provide a low amount of Tech Points and the second is by damaging your opponent (generate a more important amount depending of the weapon and your Nation) !
