Dave Johns Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 So, I had read that technology gives bonuses for happiness up to level 200, and the military bonus from tech maxes out at 300. Is this still accurate? What other bonuses are there for higher levels of tech, aside from simply pushing your NS higher? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartb88 Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 It decreases the upkeep of infra. Also the more tech you have THE better you military is. It has military purpose after 300. Technology - Technology is represented by a technology level that represents the tools, hardware, and software that help your nation do what it does...better. Technology works similar to infrastructure in the game but is much more expensive at $10,000 per level increase (You can purchase technology a fractions of levels for less than $10K). Like land and infrastructure, the cost or technology increases the more you buy. You cannot sell technology as you can land or infrastructure but you can send up to 50 technology levels at a time away to other nations in foreign aid. Technology can also be captured by an attacker during battle. The following are the benefits of Technology. 1. Technology makes your people happy. Here's how the game currently figures it: Technology = 0 then happiness = -1 Technology > 0 and <= .5 then happiness = +0 Technology > .5 and <= 1 then happiness = +1 Technology > 1 and <= 3 then happiness = +2 Technology > 3 and <= 6 then happiness = +3 Technology > 6 and <= 10 then happiness = +4 Technology > 10 and <= 15 then happiness = +5 Technology > 15 then happiness = + 5 + (Tech purchased * .02) up to level 200 tech 2. Battle outcomes are still randomly generated but the outcome of battle is now affected by your technology level. Having a higher technology level allows you to equip your soldiers with better weapons and get more kills. The effect works for both attacking and defending nations. Here's the current equation: Normal Number of Kills * (Technology Purchased * 10%This means that if you have a technology level of 5 and in a regular battle you would normally get 100 kills you would actually get 50 more kills as a result of your technology level. (100*(5*.10) = 50) 3. Technology increases your nation strength. 4. Technology decreases infrastructure upkeep costs up to a maximum 10% discount based on the following formula: (2 * Technology Level) / Nation Strength = Percent off infrastructure upkeep bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drai Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Also you gain .002 happiness for every level of tech up to 3000 tech with the Great University. This means you can get a total of +6 happiness from this wonder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dralf Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 one of you says that the military bonus max out at 300 tech, while the other says that it still have military purpose after 300. so, which is correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rozalia Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 one of you says that the military bonus max out at 300 tech, while the other says that it still have military purpose after 300. so, which is correct? It doesn't have another military bonus. Its just part of a really good wonder if you've got the tech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alzion Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 It inflates you nation strength so you can keep buying nukes in prolonged nuclear warfare, it helps with one of the national wonders, and it reduces infra upkeep costs by up to 10%.

Count Rupert Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 one of you says that the military bonus max out at 300 tech, while the other says that it still have military purpose after 300. so, which is correct? As Rozalia stated it does not continue to give a combat bonus after 300. It's "military" bonus after 300 is the increase in NS and you need to have extra to keep the combat bonus you get up to 300 to cover losses. And given that the nuke line is up around 35,000 NS, if having nukes is a goal, that means tech. Also, you need 400 tech to max your literacy rate at 100%.

x Tela x Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Looks like spaiz are going to be based on tech. Demand may actually surpass supply by a good margin when this war finally ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
