Which buildings, units and research you unlock and in which order. The same on every server.

Buildings

A building becomes available once you own at least one building from every level below it. So any one building per level is enough, not all of them.

1× One-time building: can only be built once and is never lost in attacks.

Military buildings & defense

You build these once and then upgrade them level by level. Every upgrade level unlocks a new unit.
