Black Sun Tech System

The Black Sun's tech system differs from the other faction's system in several ways, instead of having different unit types split up into different tech trees, the Black Sun has four 'Sub-factions' each with three tech levels in addition to the standard tech 0 roster available at the start, the player can only choose one tech tree at a time and if the player switches they will be unable to build the units from the previous tech tree, but the cost of the previous tech will be partially refunded.

If the player does end up switching, over time the player will receive 'Salvage' missions in which your chosen faction leader requests you get rid of a specified unit or structure from another 'Sub-faction' in exchange for unit(s) from the player's current tech tree, if these units or structures are not removed the player will fail the mission and receive a small crime loss, how this is achieved is up to you though the player can choose to ignore these missions and build a mixed faction with the best aspects of all four tech trees. These tech trees or 'Sub-factions' each have their own unique units, heroes and buildings and are as follows.

It should also be noted that having the appropriate hero present provides a discount to their corresponding tech.
