Quoting Glazunov1, reply 51You can do that in Genesis: click a prerequisite building you can see, then the building you want under "gives access to." That's the way you work up the tree. I've never been able to manage to find the kind of tree structure in MotBW that Genesis has. To me, at least, MotBW's method is completely counter-intuitive.
Really? But i do not know which prerequisite building i should start with. I am talking about long-time planning from tier 1 to tier 4.
If you already know what level 4 building you want, then you've played several times before straight through to the point of getting those buildings. So you know pretty much where to start. If you want one of the very few tier 4 magical buildings, for example, you start with one of the tier one or tier two magical buildings, and work up. I'm not denying its awkward, but it beats the "show everything in a linear row despite the fact that buildings aren't connected that way" approach of MotBW. In my opinion.
In MotbW in advance mode i can see how the buildings are connected. To be honest, i learn connection of the buildings from MotbW, and when i played Genesis at times i will have beta in background, which i used for long-term planning.
For me, the problem is--as I indicated above--that advanced mode only shows buildings of a kind in a row, across the screen. Suppose Building K that I want doesn't require just G, H, I and J before it, but also C from the upper left, B from the middle top, and E from below? These don't highlight, and if I click to select Building K to add it to my construction queue, the game doesn't add its prerequisites. I'm only told the next turn that Building K couldn't be built. Say what you will about Genesis, when you found a building you wanted to build that had five buildings you needed to erect first, it would guide you along.
