Technology & Unlocks

Mastering the technological advancements in Medieval Dynasty is paramount to your village's prosperity and your dynasty's longevity. Unlike other games where technology is a simple research tree, here it's deeply integrated with your actions, skills, and the very fabric of your growing settlement. This section will guide you through the intricacies of unlocking new buildings, tools, and crafting recipes, ensuring you're always one step ahead.

Understanding Technology Points

Technology Points are the lifeblood of progress in Medieval Dynasty. They are categorized into several distinct types, each gained through specific activities:

  • Building Technology: Earned by constructing new buildings, repairing existing ones, and crafting building materials like Wooden Walls or Stone Foundations. Essential for expanding your village.
  • Survival Technology: Acquired through activities related to basic needs – hunting animals, fishing, gathering wild plants, and crafting survival tools such as Stone Knives and Torches.
  • Farming Technology: Gained by tilling fields, sowing seeds, harvesting crops, and crafting farming implements like Stone Hoes and Wooden Scythes.
  • Crafting Technology: Progresses as you craft items in workshops, from simple Wooden Bowls to complex Iron Tools. The more diverse and advanced your crafting, the faster this grows.
  • Hunting Technology: Specifically earned by successfully hunting animals, skinning them, and crafting hunting gear like Wooden Bows and Stone Arrows.
  • Extraction Technology: Accumulates from mining resources (ore, stone, salt), chopping down trees, and processing raw materials. Essential for accessing better resources.

Each technology type contributes to unlocking specific blueprints and recipes. You can view your current technology levels and upcoming unlocks in the Technology Tab of your management menu (default key: N).
