Technology

The Tech Tree in it's complete beta form

The Technology of Civilization VI. Research of various Technology works similar to previous Civ games, but each technology has a "Eureka!" objective / bonus. This bonus is a sort of Quest (such as "Meet another Civilization" or "Build a Quarry") which when completed, will award a research credit worth 50% of the science previously needed to unlock that tech. You can get the research credit whether or not you are currently researching the technology in question.
