Producer Technologies
A new category of technologies has been added: Producer technologies. Unlike Academy technologies, they are researched directly at production facilities and provide straightforward upgrades to the units they produce.
Production Facilities
Producer Technologies are designed to add more strategic specialization without increasing complexity, allowing players to tailor their armies through the facilities that build them. See also Academy Technologies for the other research category.
How to Activate Producer Technologies
To research a Producer Technology, interact directly with the production facility that supports it:
- Select a Barracks, Factory, or Airport on the map.
- Available technology buttons appear on the right side of the screen.
- Click a technology button to start researching it at that facility.
