Tech Index Bonuses

Design Concepts

  • History should inform present focuses
  • Slapping bonus SP on non-TI paths is grossly inelegant
  • Slapping a TI on every path is too many bonuses
  • Solution: Let people choose X of their Y TI bonuses

Path Structure

Exploration:

  • World choice
  • Precursor presence
  • Velan presence
  • Posthuman presence

Colonisation:

  • Region
  • Transhuman stance
  • Economic development
  • Special event (or colonial makeup)
  • Local affairs

Breakdown:

  • Economic upsets
  • Circumstance
  • Effect
  • [for longshots] Isolated event

War:

  • Unchanged

Current:

  • Future Government

Chaos:
