[Tech Tree Ability - Suggestion] If certain criteria are met, a specific technology can have 0% chance of appearing.

from Elemental Forums

I think currently, you can only set the chance of a tech appearing to be 1-100%.  It would be fantastic to have the ability to set certain criteria (for example *and* statements, *or* statements, and *not* statements) for requirements for unlocking certain techs, if this is not in already.  And you could make it so that if you have a particular tech (and/or other characteristics of your side), you cannot unlock another specific tech or tech branch. This would provide the ability for practically unlimited tech tree balance and customizability. ^_^

Best regards,
Steven.

that would be known as a prerequisite... it's already built into the game.

Nope, he's describing the opposite of a prerequisite - a mutually exclusive relationship.  Well, he doesn't say anything about symmetry, so it's not necessarily mutual...  preventive, maybe?

Yes.  Having a particular tech (and/or other characteristics of a side) precludes you from unlocking another specific tech.
