    At least I think it's pretty cool.

    It's also going to be interactive, and I'll have downloadable and printable versions.

    It's still a work in progress, but *crosses fingers* it should be done by the end of the week. We'll see.

    Gonna try and make it as mobile compatible as possible, but getting this much information cramped into a small screen is going to be impossible in this exact format.

    Ye olde tech tree, eh? Nice work, Brian. Looks promising, especially for new players.

    Needs to be in-game, with tooltips and stats when you hover over units. Along with the much wanted tutorial. Nice job already!

    It only takes a player 1 or maybe 2 games to figure out the 'tree'. It's really simple - Basic aaand Advanced.

    It's more like a 'what units are in the game and what do they do' thing rather than 'how do I get to building this'.

    Not much tree. More guide.

    Also you forgot Orbital. Which is Basvancedic. :p

    I personally would class orbital as advanced going by this structure, it just has a parallel branch from Basic. I.e. it still has a Basic prerequisite.

    Orbital can be build by basic fabricators (not commanders) so it is a sort of "universal advanced tech". Personally I would jsut mention that all fabricators can build the orbital launcher and make a seperate group with OL being T1 factory, Obrital Factroy being T2 factory.

    Very nice!
    I was wondering if someone created a printable version (reference card) of the most useful keyboard shortcuts ?

    Thanks!

    Another little preview.

    This section isn't nearly as visually interesting, because there's no nesting. But oh well.

    Making all this mobile compatible is going to be a $^&...
