TechType (Civ5 Type)

This page is a part of the Lua and UI Reference (Civ5).

The TechType pseudo-type is actually a regular integer. Pseudo-types do not exist in Lua, they only serve a documentation purpose on the wiki! Integers labeled as TechType corresponds to the ID column of the Technologies XML table.
