I think that will not work, TechArea must have the same items in the same order... I think... will test at some point.

Exactly. In the Racial Traits file I had Construction, Fighters I and Fighters II, as racial techs 6, 7, and 8.

Then in the Tech Area file I made Construction racial tech 6 with start level 1, fighters tech area 7 with start level 1, and another fighters with tech area 8 and start level 2. I was kind of expecting it to fail because of two tech areas with the same name.

It suprised me that it didn't, and the player with Construction and fighters I got level 1 in fighters and the player with all three racial areas got fighters level 2. But then when I went back to the regular tech area file the player with fighter level 1 still had it and the player with fighters 2 could build level 1 fighters, but couldn't research any further until he researched construction again.

Very confusing.
