So, do you remember how Beyond Earth had human, cyborg, and xeno tech trees? Zephon has a lesser implementation of that: all the combat technologies belong to one of those branches. However, they're not at all exclusive: you can run cyborg Ishin Enforcers next to xeno-riding Abluth Dragoons. The only issues are in specialty resource costs: Algae is required for the Voice monsters, but Cyber units need chips.
