Looking for a really good game with improvements via tech tree? Then we have just the thing for you: the list of the best tech tree games 2023.
What are Tech Tree games?
In tech tree games (also called technology or research tree or path), new actions become available to certain players during the game, or existing actions are improved. These are often themed as technologies, but don't have to be. In computer games, this principle made the [Civilazation series](https:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sid_Meier%E2%80%99s_Civilization) popular starting in 1991.
Technique Tree & Technique Path
Sometimes this is expressed as a tree, where achieving one tech unlocks several other techs. Or it can be a linear path, where progressing along the tech path unlocks improved or new actions.
"Tech Tree" is sometimes also referred to as "Tech Path" or "Tech Tracks".
Examples of games with improvements via tech tree
A good example of a tech tree game is Brass Birmingham.
