        You do this by setting up the tech dependencies such that they
all depend on a certain set of initial techs at the root. To completely
separate them, of course, you need to prevent the gaining of random
techs from huts and captured cities, although it may create an
interesting game if the only way you can build a certain class of unit
is to bargain or fight with another nation for the prerequisite tech.
