| Flag: | TechLevel |
| File(s): | Rules(md).ini, Maps |
| Values: | signed integers |
| Default: | -1 |

On BuildingTypes
By constructing the building, the house's "technology level" is increased to this value, if necessary.
On Infantry/Vehicle/Aircraft Types
This flag specifies the "technology level" necessary to build this object.
In [MultiplayerDialogSettings]
This flag specifies the maximum TechLevel achievable in the game. In previous games, you could control this by means of another slider, like the one used for Starting Money or Game Speed. The effect of this limit is that only TechLevel values in the interval 0 - this value (inclusive) are considered "allowed", and all others are disabled.
On Houses
This flag specifies the starting tech level for this AI-controlled house.

TechLevel -2 and below are considered as buildable at any TechLevel.
And AI doesn't build techlevel -1 TechnoTypes unless explicitly stated it should. This can be done by using those units for TaskForces or setting AIBuildThis=yes for the building.
