The Tzeentch tech tree consists of technologies that unlock new advantages throughout the game. Research takes place constantly, but the rate at which discoveries occur can be increased by using heroes to spy or building additional research buildings at your settlements.
Overview[]
Tzeentch's tech tree is divided by 5 tiers of technology with 9 techs each. To unlock a new tier, the player must research a specific technology from the previous tier of technology. Some of the techs have specific requirements, such as having built a certain building, researching a technology or both and some have a cost of Grimoires.
Description[]
Nine is the number of the Changer. Nine are the levels within the perplexing Ninth Library, Tzeentch's repository of forgotten knowledge. Scour the bookcases, learn and indulge in our master's lore.
