Research of Elemental Beta [Guide]

from Elemental Forums

This will be the guide where I dump all I learn about the Research trees of elemental. As with the building guide this is a work in progress meant to help those who are new or those who need more info to beta test.  That said I think this project will be harder since I will try to extrapolate the prereqs for the techs also. 

Again this early in beta most of this info will probably change and depending on interest I will try to keep this updated.

 

If an entry has a * behind it I beleive it is an Endless tech. (I.E. Civs Future Tech) and you can research it repeatedly for refinement

If the entry has a ??? it is because I am not exactly sure what it does. The description gives an idea but it is either vague or I want firmer numbers before posting.

If the entry is (Entry) then it refers to a building I have not yet been able to find. which means it may not be in the game yet or I just may not have found it.

There is a wiki for stuff like this you know... I've never used it but it exists.

Reply #10 from Elemental Forums Top

And it would be a super bonus if you would put this stuff in there. The Wiki could use some more souls, any more souls. ;)

And to be helpful, here is the Link. LOL

Thanks XeronX, for getting all that info. :)

I thought I'd just compile the data of of the buildings that I've seen.  Someone who can edit the wiki can copy it over there.  Although I'm guessing a lot of the later buildings will be changed a lot (as they do not provide benefits equal to their cost, and a lot don't seem to even exist at this time either).

Also, iron output is ridiculously low, which makes it nearly impossible to get metal equipped soldiers on the field at this time.
