        Correct. The idea was to implement SMAC-like starting techs,
where each faction (or nation, in Freeciv) gets a different starting tech.
In SMAC this is used to give different factions different advantages, but
in more extreme cases it could be envisaged that this could be used to
create entirely separate technology trees for different nations, by making
it impossible to research these starting technologies normally.
