Hi! Kotk wrote on Mon, 10 July 2006 22:35 Tomasoid wrote on Mon, 10 July 2006 21:17 Why? SQRT formula makes /13 is not very different from /10. Whatever the difference is slight or big ... it seems bad investment where you put the points. Lets say one invests points from divisor 12 into energy cheap. What it costs to keep up by researching more energy? 10/10 = 12/12 in the very same SQRT formula. Energy 12 costs 13K with energy cheap and energy 10 costs 10K with energy normal... and so 30% more resources needed into energy to keep up. Makes sense. Question: with cheap energy, would not we get initial Energy levels quicker? Can such cumulative effect of having Energy researched quicker cover these lost 3K you pointed to?
