That's correct.

You need a developer to implement any such features.

My goal for tech on the Global1940 mod would be to only loose tokens when tech is discovered per token and keep remaining tokens. I'd like to be able to develop tech on multple tech charts at the same time and be able to discover more than one tech per turn. Land/Air/Sea

I'm going thru the information and hope to test something out soon, thanks again.

Would love to be able to keep tech tokens instead of losing them when you discover technology.

Why couldn't you just make your "Tech Tokens" a resource that you never spend on anything but advancements? Then make an additional trigger that automatically gives back the same ammount of the resource when you discover the appropriate tech?

You'll need to open a feature request, for this. A thing you can do now is to have units that automatically produce tokens each turn (and you can purchase and place such units), and set the tokens to be always removed when researching.

Sci-Fi type, BattleTech or MechWarrior

Plan to add new tech charts as well. Would love to be able to keep tech tokens instead of losing them when you discover technology.

Pact of Steel 2 xml explains it. In case you're not familiar with the map structure, go to your downloaded maps folder ( should be in your triplea folder) and open up Pact of Steel ( you'll need to dl it) Keep opening folders until you get to games. The pos2 xml will be in there.

The units folder is where the images are stored.

What type of mech unit do you want to add ?
