Norsca tech tree

The Norsca tech tree consists of technologies which can be researched by Norsca to improve their units and economy. Their tech tree has three independent sections: a small buff tree for unit stats, a small monster tree (which also enables monster hunts), then a large conquest tree that gives miscellaneous normal techs, as well as techs to help you conquer certain races, and furthermore powerful special techs for conquering race capitals.
