Tech tree for all expansions

By eiterorm, in Twilight Imperium 3rd Edition

I couldn't find any technology trees I liked, so I made my own. I thought I'd share it in case some of you prefer this tech tree to existing ones.

The tech tree is intended to be printed on two sides of an A3 paper (or a paper of similar size) -- one side with the tree itself, and the other side with the details of every technology (scale the images to your liking). Both sides are organized in tiers 1 to 7, where the tier number is the minimum number of technology purchases needed to acquire that technology (assuming you have no prerequisites).

It doesn't seem like uploading files to this forum is an option, so I uploaded the tech tree to BoardGameGeek . However, that website is a visual trainwreck, so I stay away when I can. In other words, if anyone leaves a comment there, I won't see it unless I log in, which might not happen again in aeons. Therefore it would be great if any of you could take a look at the tech tree and see if you find anything that should be fixed. My hope is that anything that needs fixing is spotted early, which saves us all the trouble of having to deal with a messy or incorrect tech tree.

Cheers!

Just a question to understand whats going on. The "+" means you need both, while the if it is lacking "+" it means you only need one?

Im not sure if it would screw up to much, but having the tekst on the tree itself works far better (at least for me)

Correct.

Would an ampersand symbol instead of a plus symbol be better?

No, just had to be sure.

I must say its really a great tree, but it needs to have what each tech does next to it for me to use it. My group and me dont get to play that often (and we are new to the game) so even why this have the best layout i have seen so far, that it lacks a discribtion of what each tech does, makes me use others.

I know its on "the other page" but that just not the same

That's why it's nice to have several different tech trees to choose from, so that you can choose the one you like the most. All the trees I have seen have been very messy -- an obvious result of cramming all the information together in fairly little space. That's why I chose to separate the tech descriptions from the tree. It has to be printed on two sides, but the tree is easier to trace this way. (By comparison, if the tech description hadn't been separated from the tree, this layout would've required a paper sheet more than 80 cm wide.)

And thanks for the compliment. =)
