Technologies

Technologies, or techs, can be obtained by doing Research, by playing Fate Stratagems, and by making deals through Diplomatic Stratagems. There are two types of techs spread over 16 tech groups.

Research Phases
There are two phases involved for a new Tech to be made operational. Techs must first be discovered by the appropriate Organization, then must undergo Research. For an Organization to start Researching a Tech, it first needs to be discovered.

Discovery
Discovery can be done by allocating BP to an Organization's Discovery task.

Any tech that is open to discovery could be discovered next - the order which they are discovered is completely random. Techs open to discovery are those in the Tech Groups that you have access to, and whose pre-requisites you have met.

Research
Once a Tech has been discovered, your Organizations will have the option to research it. You have the option to choose what order that discovered techs are researched, and the more BP that are allocated to the Research Task of an organization, the more progress will be made on fully researching a chosen Tech.
