[Freeciv-Dev] Re: How to give an specific technology in a scenario?

["Ross W. Wetmore" <rwetmore@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes.

Simply being able to preassign techs on a per civ basis can be
perverted to do lots of interesting things. In Fantastic worlds, I
think they preassigned techs that expired/replaced the effects of 
others or could never be directly researched. The result was different
technology trees for different races.

The other scenario scripting trick they had was "triggers/events".
