User blog comment:Blappp/AoE II Tech Tree revamp/@comment-27274076-20170202051124

The tech trees are hideous the way they are, good to know I'm not the only one seeing that. Overall, your proposal is an improvement, no doubt. But I had yet another idea. Instead of using the little icons and crossing of the name, why not use the actual tech tree icons? Like this:

Maybe find a better arrow symbol, but generally I find that better.

Also, I think the overall structure needs improvement. To just have a separate section for every building (which are also unavailable to some civilizations) makes no sense to me, there should be a logical structure, like economy, then military, then research. And buildings would like to have a separate section maybe.

Ah I'd leave the shared UUs out of the other civilization's trees.
