What's the difference between having, say, 135% bus/res as opposed to 170% over the course of the set? At what price does tech become a waste of money?

At 179.5% vs 180% lol

Keep buying those tech! U get to make more with less land :p

It's worth it. Get as much of your beneficial techs as you can as soon as you can.

Yeah pretty much the only thing I've done differently this set than previous was buying lots of tech, and its made a huge difference for me personally. Without tech I'd be making over 10k less turrets/jets per turn... That ads up and pays for itself really fast. I've probably spent about 200mil on industrial tech this set, but for 10k more per turn @ abt $150 per unit that pays for itself in about 130 turns... So I'd say it's with it, for Indy at least.

What about bus/rez for non-cashers??? One tech I'm trying to stock up on before it gets too expensive is military cost for destock. Might as well reap the benefit of it set long as opposed to only endset.

what stocking you're talking about? u're only 9k acres lol.

You hush

Most strats have primary techs and secondary techs. Get the primary techs you need up first, then you can work on boosting whatever else you need; military, or bus/res, sdi, etc...

its a big difference if you lose 1m bucks per turn or get 1m bucks per turn.

So everybody should be maxxing out bus/res is what you're getting at? Come on and buy that tech!!!

not residential prolly but business yes.

if don't max out on both you won't get the maximum benefit

you also become alot harder to kill with all the extra civs

it is always nice to have, hard to maintain though

then start buying it up! seriously I have TONS of it waiting to be bought just gotta burn through that cheaper stuff first :)

DON'T BUY PRINCE'S TECHS!!! THOSE ARE FAKE TECHS!!!
