Technologys - Too easy?

[Stan Rogers]

As Dez and Meliva both state, it would be extremely unfair to impose new requirements on pre-existing techs and research.
That said, I agree with what Avery proposes but it should be imposed on new techs/research so everyone starts out on the same footing and requirements.
It's almost impossible to roll back the rules set forth initially on techs and keep things fair.

-1 You can only research one tech at a time and there are already time limitations on tech on top of the costs. Now you want to add additional requirements to gaining each level.

This overwhelmingly benefits players that already have completed those techs.

Yes but the playing field heavily favors coiners who can buy turns continually and the coin to invest in these. My techs are still very low compared to a lot of players newer than me because of their wallet.

And I have maxed some of my techs without spending a cent on the game in almost three years : and done it without focusing all my efforts or resources towards them, being as I have lots of other demands for my wee purse to fund. Yes, funding the game with in-game purchases can be a boost to a player : but its not the be-all and end-all of matters : its still possible to progress to a high level without those boosts, just a bit harder but then the achievement feels all the better.

A bad player with a big purse remains a bad player : a good player can work around a poor purse and excel regardless.

I would rather see new thechnology then changing rules for the existing ones
