Sure. But that's temporary. Cheaper Weapons and Construction techs beat that all in 10-15 turns later.

Let's say we start somewhat even in warships and planets. In five turns I would go fully for my jammed BBs that would have first shoot and would kill your unjammed BBs in 2 to 1 ratio. In those five turns I'd get 50% more BBs and would have them at the front to mount an attack. You'd have just two choices, neither of them good.
- If you'd stand and fight you'd lose all your fleet, and I'd remain with most new ships, probably also with quite some older ones. With such a supremacy on my side you'd soon start losing planets.
- If you'd retreat your "outdated" ships you'd start losing planets sooner, and with that also losing your ability to research better tech to counter my ships, and ability to actually build them when you'd get that desired tech(s).
To make things even worse for you, I would in that time also research better tech, and while you'd be struggling to build your ships to counter mine, I'd be quite likely producing ships that would again make your new ships obsolete. Also, you'd be producing those inferior ships with already reduced economy, while mine would be at least the same, allowing me to cripple you even more and with less costs.

All this "spiral of death" Shocked just because I had "a temporary 5 turns tech advantage". Wink Laughing

BR, Iztok


You think about duel and / or about small games or very crowded games. Think about normal game when each player have a lot of planets. Losing few planets of much more would not affect research much. So if I retreat, build better forces after turns of reserach, and make a blow on your attacking fleets, I could quickly not only recover from yo
