A question for the experts: if you are 90% of the way to getting a tech level (for example tech 9 almost 10) and then receive the level thru combat or MT or trade do you get placed at 90% done of the new level ( previous example becoming tech 10 almost 11) or is the extra lost?

I think you simply keep the resources already gathered in the current level you were researching.
So, for example your current level need 1000res and the next need 1200res. You already have 800res accumulated. If you get a level up, you'll still have 800res accumulated toward the next level (800 out of 1200).

Umm they are both the same answer....just stated differently
|
I didn't think so, even after reading your comment.
Almost replied saying so, but then retread from brain dead said.
It is the same thing... Or the booze is making it seem simpler to understand now zzzz.

As I understand what has been written here people are saying that gaining a tech level where some research has been done already preserves the research done already, but as far as I remember it that is not the case. As I remember it getting tech levels from the MT preserves the research already done, but getting tech levels from combat or tech trade does not, getting tech levels from combat or tech trade places the receiver with just research enough points to reach the tech level in question.
I could be mistaken, though.

No you are right...
I thought we all were talking about only the MT. I realise no one made that distinction though.
>getting tech levels from the MT preserves the research already done
> getting tech levels from combat or tech trade (gives only the remaining resources to gain the tech level, with no carry forward to the next tech level).

I agree with m.a. - I think all of the above situations are treated the same way. Should be easy enough to test.

"Leapfrogging" is also possible. You can research to within a few Resources of a given level, then receive it from someone else, and find yourself within another few Resources of the next level, which enables you to reach it quickly enough to give it to those who gave you the earlier level.
|
No such thing as free lunch. You still have to do the research.

Perhaps I should lay off my late night bed reply posts, but aren't you contradicting yourself in the 2 replies?
