You set the baseline tech trees, then as the tech trees upgrade, you merely upgrade the capacity of the units being produced under current circumstances. For example: Basic Tech Level 1, no upgrades: You get units with Fighting / Shooting d6, with no armorTech Level 1, minor upgrade: Units still have fighting shooting d6, but now have the Aim or Block edges, depending on whether they're melee or ranged, and +1 ArmorTech Level 2: All units produced now have a fighting / shooting of d8. Tech Level 2, minor upgrade: Units now have Aim / Block, AND Frenzy. Armor goes to +2. And so on. The fact that there's almost no connection necessary between the incremental unit upgrades in Savage Worlds would make it a very good choice for the unit-level stuff. All of the resource-gathering and tech level analysis is all going to have to be houseruled anyway. And you can decide whether a tech-level upgrade automatically upgrades all units automatically (like in most RTS games), or the old units still have the old stats, and the new units have the new stats.</blockquote>
