Race-Specific Technologies
curated by GMO
version 1.02 -- updated 17 Apr 11

The purpose of this page is to provide additional race-specific technologies for each of the 14 races.
Existing technologies are listed with a *; some of these have been altered, which is indicated with **.
Other technologies are open to debate and suggestions.

It is assumed that one will play with the variant where race-specific technologies are
acquired automatically once your VP total is equal to the resource value listed on the card.

Many of these technologies have been collated into race-specific technology (RST) trees, linked in the table below.
