You can research 823 technologies per turn.

yet i have over 12k labs lol what happened???

Did you get GSd?

Ya he might have lost civis.

how long has tpt been linked to civs? i dont think i ever remember it being the case

yes gs'ed

For 1, maybe 2 sets now.

added recently
in alliance i had 900 indied and produced like 17 spies. i was rather confused, too ;p

oh this is seriously stupid lol

GS are insanely powerful now.

As should be, people in solo servers would farm nOObs and leave 0 troops to bait them to GS deep into DR then go all jet and get massive acreage using DR to avoid retals.

production is now tied into with population.. its stupid for this game. but makes complete sense.. if u have 100 civilians.. they obviously cant make alot of production if this was real life

To be fair, I think the main purpose of the change was to improve cashers as a war strat. Cashers have always lost production after losing a lot of civs, so this change produced a more level playing field so that other strats also lost production under these circumstances.

It really hurts in express where you can eat 100+ GSs.

Vic: Production is tied to the ratio of current population / maximum population. So you can increase production by either increasing your current population (i.e. playing turns), or by decreasing maximum population. So teching/buying Residential tech is a bad idea because it increases max pop. Other silly things are grabbing land or decreasing tax rate.

boltar, that might make more sense if i couldn't have one million spies and a population of 125k.. :P

can you see james bond with a hoe?

hm, mayhap in one hand and a dry martini in the other, i could..

Well, GS have been badly nerfed as a killing tool with the restart changes, so this at least gives the humble infantryman a reason to be proud again. I was actually one of those people that would run without troops on a solo server to bait somebody into putting me in DR with GS. I almost always play farmer and GS actually HELPED farmers under the old rules.

DAMN YOU QZ!!!

this only happens in express because you can do 10 sets of attacks before you get our of Dr. in primary or tourney it doesn't help being in Dr..

all production is linked to civs now. =P gs is more powerful, but still not as destructive as brs. for a couple of sets, i was wondering why my tpt increases while i tech, every time i go on an LG spree, and that was the reason, that my civs havent caught up yet. =D

yes

this is why you don't batch explore since your current pop can't catch up with ur max pop as fast. it's better to build as you go.

because of your ability to buy and maximize techs along the way, i was under the impression it was always better to build as you go.. then once your techs are where you can batch explore without losing 20-30% of your levels, you started to batch?
