Hi Felski,
Long time, I was just playing around with another project. I have a plugin that keeps the main character from being part of the party but uses their sprite on the map. The concept is that this character commands the other party members and I would like to build a tech tree for them to emphasize leadership and group tactics, mostly passive states that effect the party. I do not think this is something your plugin currently can do but I thought you may consider a plugin command, or an option for this. Also none of the other actors have any tech trees so maybe theirs some sort of work around? Anyways let me know if you figure something out and its fine if you don't have time or if you don't want to do it. Just let me know what you decide. This project is still experimental so I can drop the idea as well.
Thanks for your time
