Wood Elves technologies
33 technologies from the game's research tree for Wood Elves, patch 9.0.4, line by line as the game lays them out. Hover or tap a technology for its cost (research points, plus gold or a campaign resource for 8 of them), its effects and what it needs first. Faction-only trees (a single lord's variant) are not included.
COMPUTEDThe whole tree costs 15,300 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: the gold and campaign resources some technologies also cost are listed on each, not added up. Before research speed bonuses; some technologies also need a building, which this doesn't count. Wisdom of the Eagle Lords also lists a gold amount per turn in the tables (technology_nodes.cost_per_round); whether the game still charges it isn't confirmed, so it isn't shown or counted.
