Modified tech tree

First, I would like to thanks our japanese players. Your comments are greatly appreciated !Some of your ideas have been added to the new tech tree... Check below ! :-)

Also a new idea... We should recruit only from the Shiro (more realistic and easier for the stupid AI...). For now, we keep the "upgrade" idea... So, for example, you'll have to update your Shiro/City, then upgrade your buildings to have access to new/upgraded units from your Shiro...Here's the modified tech tree...
