So I was playing a game today and went to buy my next tech. I already had Hylar Assault Laser and Automated Defense Turrets, and cybernetics. So according to the Shattered empire tech three if i have Automated defense Turrets and Cybernetics I can get Assault cannons.

When i searched through the deck and pulled the card out however I found that it didn't mention Automated defense turrets. It said it needed Deep Space Cannon!

So I googled it all over, and searched the forums and found that not a single person had comment on it. The old tech three in the Original TI3 shows Deep space Cannons as the pre req. But that fact that its not in the errata, or mentioned here or on Board game geek...

Means I had to post about it.

So what are the real prerequisites for Assault Cannon? (my guess is Deep space cannon)

I would agree that it's probably DSC. I don't really use the tech tree myself, so I guess I've never noticed that. I just go by what's on the cards.

I think there were one or two cards in the base game that were misprints. In the Shattered Empire expansion, I seem to recall an insert describing the need to replace a couple of the technology cards. If you go by the revised tech tree in the expansion, it looks like Automated Defense Turrets and Cybernetics are the required prerequisites.

Like Steve-O, I tend to just go by the cards. However, if you haven't replaced the misprinted cards with the new ones from Shattered Empire, confusion may ensue.

Since ADT is a new tech in Shattered Empires, the expansion came with new Assault Cannon tech cards for each color to replace the originals. It sounds like you're stil using the originals. The replacement cards match the tech tree.

Thanks Aarontu!

I've only played the game once but have been playing my self using Vassal as a digital board game. So I didn't know that card replacement was around.

Cheers.
