I suggest the same program that I use, called Pencil & Graph Paper.

Its a very good program!

That's the best one... its easier to use and to work with... Plus, what other program allows you to make the tech tree into a paper airplane?

Dr_Strangelove, they usually crash because of a tech loop somewhere. If you've got MGE/UCC you can use the civilopedia - civilisation advances section to see a graphical representation of your "tree" which is very handy for bug checking. If you don't have it, you'll just have to be extra careful in checking the prerequisites. Make a copy, reset them all to nil,nil and start again. It's the only way.

As Cam pointed out above I have used power point to create tech trees. I now prefer to use Corel Draw because it offers more line connector flexability.

I prefer to use software instead of paper because they are much easier to revise and because I like to include a tech tree poster with my scenarios. For those of you who are interested, here is a link to tech tree I created for a still unreleased scenario, Kalterra.

A fantasy scenario! We need more of those....

That looks great Will. I think I should go back and try again on my scenario... I figured out how the map is going to look, and bits and pieces of the tech tree... I think I'll start collecting units again. I have maybe a dozen I'll use...
