HHAYD Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 I'm trying to do some math here and with a 5% gold discount on tech, how much would 50 tech cost? Are there rules to buying tech for cheapest possible solution? The cost of tech depends on how much tech you already have on hand. The more tech your nation has, the more expensive the tech is.

Roofus Posted April 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 You can buy tech as cheap as you can get it. Actually, I was looking for this info: Welcome to the Tech Market!This is a brief guide to how to sell tech. In order to maximize for how much you can sell technology, there are several things you have to do. 1. When purchasing tech to sell, you must begin at 0 tech. That's the cheapest. * You must buy in amounts that take advantage of the tech price jumps. * The jumps are at 5, 8, 10, 15, 30, and 50. * We recommend that your simply purchase tech in amounts of 10; however, it can be done cheaper, but it's a bit trickier. For instance, purchase 9.5 tech, and then 10, and the second 10 tech will be purchased at the 8-level prices rather than the 10-level prices. * I personally recommend purchasing 9.5, then 10, then 10, then 10, then 10, then .5. That makes 6 purchases. This lets you take advantage of a reduced multiplier for your 2nd purchase, and your 4th purchase. 2. Got bonuses. * The bonuses are: * A 5% decrease if you have gold. * An 8% decrease if you have microchips (gold, lead, oil AND tech greater than 10). Note that this bonus won't kick in until your second or third tech purchase. * 10% per university, maximum of 2. Note, don't get universities out of order. You should purchase them according to whatever CN101 tells you. * It costs 860K to buy 50 tech from 0, with no bonuses. The seller makes 140K. * It costs 817K to buy 50 tech from 0, with just gold. The seller makes 183K. * It costs 751.6K to buy 50 tech from 0 with all the trade bonuses. The seller makes about 249K. * It costs 601K to buy 50 tech from 0 with trades and 2 universities. The seller makes about 399K. 3. NEVER BUY MORE THAN 50 TECH. It should be obvious, but it needs to be said. You can only send 50 tech, so once you have 50 tech, you have to send it to the proper recipient, wait for them to accept it, and THEN and ONLY THEN begin purchasing more tech.
