Dev Diary: Skill Tree for Generals
New skills and Skill Tree for Generals in the Science System
Dear Settlers,
With the upcoming update of the Science System, a third skill tree will become available for every player.
After the deployment on May 16, 2017 it will be possible to set and adjust Skills for your Generals!
The new skill tree follows the same pattern of rules used for Geologists and Explorers.
- Every skill except those in the top row (Codex tier 2) has 3 levels.
Each requires 1 corresponding book type to unlock.
- Skills in the top most row have only a single level and are mutually exclusive.
Once a Codex has been invested into one of them, the others cannot be unlocked unless the whole skill tree is reset.
Before being able to unlock skills in any row but the bottom one, two conditions have to be met:
- Reach a certain level.
- Invest a total of X*(number of rows beneath the one in question) into the general, where X is 5 for combat Generals and 3 for Quartermasters.
Now that we've bored you with all the rules, let's talk about the...
