Unique technology (Chronicles)

This article is about the unique technologies in Chronicles. For unique technologies in other games, see unique technology.

Unique technologies are technologies in Chronicles that are available to only one civilization. They can be researched at the Fort. Unique technologies are disabled in the "Full Tech Tree" option.

Every civilization has access to two unique technologies each in the Classical and Imperial Ages, and must choose between them. In Imperial Age or Post-Imperial Age game starts, no exclusionary unique technology is researched.
