Ok so here is my proposition. Make tech a lot more expensive. But have it easier to steal in ground attacks. Because tech costs more the more you buy it (and would be way more expensive) but would be easier to steal in battle the more tech you have. Also tech would be even MORE decisive in battle. So everybody would need tech to be effective in battle, but it would be a lot more expensive and harder to get. Except---in ground attacks. Then you can steal other people's tech, but only if you have enough tech to beat them. So it makes the game a lot more strategizing. But do NOT do this in regular CN, whatever you do. All those who have varying ideas or agree please comment.

I actually agree with the tech raid limit being raised.

yeah but where does the tech that gets raided come from? If its too expensive to even buy or if CMs/Nukes destroy tech, well then, the amount of tech is lowered.
