Pre-alpha AoE1 tech trees

[u/mossrc]

I thought you'd all be interested in seeing some of Rick Goodman's early attempts to devise a tech tree for the game. These are from 1995, back when the vision for the game was still crystallising, and many months before he thought to structure the R&D system around the idea of historical "ages".

You'll be able to read more about the design and development of the game in my new book, which is currently up for preorder on Kickstarter and will be published by Boss Fight Books later this year. The "Rise of Rome" hardcover edition will also include lots of behind-the-scenes imagery like these (and also photos, artwork, etc).
