Beastmen technologies
28 technologies from the game's research tree for Beastmen, patch 9.0.4, line by line as the game lays them out. Hover or tap a technology for its cost (research points), its effects and what it needs first. Faction-only trees (a single lord's variant) are not included.
COMPUTEDThe whole tree costs 11,200 research points. Each technology's tooltip also shows what reaching it costs: its own points plus the technologies it needs first, each counted once (the tree's links). Research points only. Before research speed bonuses; some technologies also need a building, which this doesn't count.
