What is Technology?
Unlocks Improvements for Your Civ
Technologies push your civilization forward by unlocking new buildings, units, and advancements, strengthening your empire’s capabilities. Researching them is a continuous process fueled by Science Yield, so the more Science you generate, the faster you can innovate and stay ahead of the competition.
Technologies function similarly to Civics, but while Technologies are researched using Science Yield, Civics progress through Culture Yield. Both unlock new advancements, but Technologies focus on military, infrastructure, and production, while Civics shape government, policies, and society.
Prioritizing Technology research gives you military advantage, as most powerful units are unlocked through advancements.
Science Victory Guide and How to Win
How the Tech Tree Works
| How the Tech Tree Works |
|---|
|
|
Advancement Through Scientific Progress
Tech Trees structure scientific progress, showing the path of technological advancements your civilization can pursue. Each Age has its own Tech Tree, with technologies that unlock new buildings, units, or abilities.
However, you must follow a progression path, meaning some technologies require others to be researched first. The more Science Yield you generate, the faster you can advance, shaping your strategy based on your empire’s needs.
Mastery
Techs offer opportunities to research Mastery. After a Tech is researched, a tier two Tech becomes available—these are called Masteries, and they grant additional bonuses, unlocking new constructibles and codices. Masteries are often essential for pursuing Science Legacy Path, offering critical advantages to your empire’s growth and capabilities.
Similarly, Civics also have Masteries.
Future Tech
Future Tech becomes available at the end of the current Age's Tech Tree. Researching Future Tech advances the current Age by 10, grants a Wildcard Attribute Point, and provides a boost for a starting Tech in the next Age, helping you stay ahead in technological progress.
How to View the Tech Tree
Click the Technology Icon
To access the Tech Tree, click the Technology Icon, then select View Tree to explore available advancements and plan your research path.
