Research not working, my friend Morgan needs it.
Posted: Nov 14 2007
Morgan:
Also, I'm spending 300.00 million dollars on research, but none of my research is getting done. Something doesn't seem right.
Morgan:
Return fagget
Morgan:
HEY
Doktor Iluminasyon:
lolwut
Doktor Iluminasyon:
sorry
Doktor Iluminasyon:
was busy heating the lasagne
Morgan:
read previous stuff
Doktor Iluminasyon:
I did
Doktor Iluminasyon:
first
Doktor Iluminasyon:
unit designs have certain prerequisites
Doktor Iluminasyon:
you are American nation right?
Morgan:
No
Morgan:
I'm Costa Rica
Morgan:
well
Morgan:
I'm in Central America
Morgan:
so I am third world
Doktor Iluminasyon:
hold on
Doktor Iluminasyon:
wait a sec
Doktor Iluminasyon:
S. America is your natonality accorsing to game
Morgan:
Okay.
Doktor Iluminasyon:
following me?
Doktor Iluminasyon:
ok
Doktor Iluminasyon:
anyways
Doktor Iluminasyon:
there are universal unit designs,
Doktor Iluminasyon:
and unit designs saved for certain nations
Doktor Iluminasyon:
if you want, this link has a massive list
Morgan:
Sure
Doktor Iluminasyon:
http://www.battlegoat.com/equiplist.php ... filter=all
Doktor Iluminasyon:
never mind the length, I was looking for mortar unita
Doktor Iluminasyon:
anyway, unless you buy the designs, or reach a certain tech level to reaearch units, you are stuck with them
Doktor Iluminasyon:
"or any kind of ship or airplane"
S.Americans dont build stuff
Doktor Iluminasyon:
they buy them
Doktor Iluminasyon:
and are lazy smelly people
Doktor Iluminasyon:
Doktor Iluminasyon:
joking
Doktor Iluminasyon:
the thing is you either lack the unit design
Doktor Iluminasyon:
or tech level
Doktor Iluminasyon:
how much is your tech level?
Morgan:
I'm the highest tech level in the region. 94.
Doktor Iluminasyon:
94 is good for S.America
Doktor Iluminasyon:
but many high tech European units you played earlier are at least 100
Doktor Iluminasyon:
so what kind of units do you need?
Morgan:
I don't know, it just seems odd that the best unit I can get is Light Infantry
Doktor Iluminasyon:
Light infantry isn't bad infantry
Morgan:
Plus, none of my research ever gets done, for some reason
Doktor Iluminasyon:
look at stats
Morgan:
even though I spend 300.00 on it
Doktor Iluminasyon:
they may be prerequisite pending
Doktor Iluminasyon:
or needing horrible long times
Doktor Iluminasyon:
double click on projects being done
Morgan:
actually, 400 million
Doktor Iluminasyon:
and look how much they need
Morgan:
and the project cost is 100 million
Doktor Iluminasyon:
project costs are deducted over time
Morgan:
Ugh, the shortest project is done in 10 years
Morgan:
****
Doktor Iluminasyon:
and 400 is low, considering each third part of it goes to :
Tech level
Funding
Efficiency
Morgan:
what should I research?
Morgan:
or, could I just divert it all to increasing my tech level?
Doktor Iluminasyon:
that would be silly
Morgan:
...
Doktor Iluminasyon:
increasing your overall tech level to european standards while doing nothing else would be studying in the middle of a fist fight
Doktor Iluminasyon:
try other things
Doktor Iluminasyon:
science doesn't look your thing for no
Doktor Iluminasyon:
w
Doktor Iluminasyon:
that Panama
Doktor Iluminasyon:
hit it
Doktor Iluminasyon:
you need a bigger power pool
Morgan:
Really?
Morgan:
Hmm...
Morgan:
okay
Morgan:
Third world warfare
Morgan:
what should I build? Light infantry?
Morgan:
the World Market gave me some artillery, but it's powered and not towed
Morgan:
so it's basically useless to me
Morgan:
How do I increase military supply over long distance?
Doktor Iluminasyon:
build supply depots nearby, the supply depot has 100% supply in its own hex, every hex decreases over distance, but rail and roads reduce it
Doktor Iluminasyon:
also, supply trucks
Doktor Iluminasyon:
accompany your army with a supply truck unit
Morgan:
alright
Doktor Iluminasyon:
powered artillery is bad?!
Doktor Iluminasyon:
why?!
Morgan:
Yes, because it uses oil and requires heavy supply lines
Doktor Iluminasyon:
you don't have oil?!
Morgan:
no deposits of oil
Doktor Iluminasyon:
WUT
Morgan:
I have to trade for it
Doktor Iluminasyon:
what kind of south america is dat!
Morgan:
The only country, aside from the World Market, with oil, is Guatemala
Doktor Iluminasyon:
hit it!
Doktor Iluminasyon:
raep guatemala!
Morgan:
It's at the other end of the map, near Mexico (World Market) while the only thing dividing me from Colombia (World Market) is Panama
Doktor Iluminasyon:
Take panama first
Doktor Iluminasyon:
you must
Morgan:
Alright
Doktor Iluminasyon:
also consider the mad inflation combo
Doktor Iluminasyon:
if your population grows like crazy, you may need it
Doktor Iluminasyon:
CITEFA M77
Doktor Iluminasyon:
do you have this cannon?
Doktor Iluminasyon:
SBAT-70 Towed
Doktor Iluminasyon:
TAMSE VCA 155mm sounds cool
Morgan:
No
Morgan:
I have no artillery aside from the **** World Market sold me
Doktor Iluminasyon:
AA-VCA 155mm
Doktor Iluminasyon:
90 Tech level and south american
Doktor Iluminasyon:
also, try buyng unit designs from neighbors
Doktor Iluminasyon:
offer lump sum cash
Doktor Iluminasyon:
they love to sell unit tech
Doktor Iluminasyon:
and its worth it
Morgan:
Hmm...
Morgan:
Perhaps.
Doktor Iluminasyon:
you don't spend years
Doktor Iluminasyon:
AND spend the cost only
Doktor Iluminasyon:
just cover the expense and they sell it
Morgan:
Nice.
Morgan:
Tanks would be pretty useless here
Morgan:
since everything is close combat
Morgan:
or close combat/high ground
Doktor Iluminasyon:
great
Doktor Iluminasyon:
so you need to get up and close
Doktor Iluminasyon:
if you have planes too, it would be awesome
Doktor Iluminasyon:
-114
S. America Class: Artillery
Level: 114
Crew: 4
Doktor Iluminasyon:
hmm...
Morgan:
Lol, what?
Doktor Iluminasyon:
S AMERICA also has nice late game units
Doktor Iluminasyon:
tech level 114 though
Morgan:
4 crew
Morgan:
rofl
Doktor Iluminasyon:
so?
Doktor Iluminasyon:
too few?
Morgan:
It's also called "114"
Morgan:
that's strange.
Doktor Iluminasyon:
SS-114
Doktor Iluminasyon:
sorry
Doktor Iluminasyon:
SS LOL
Doktor Iluminasyon:
also late game units need a lot of AI and automaic handling
Doktor Iluminasyon:
so 4 crew is ok
Doktor Iluminasyon:
LOLWUT
Doktor Iluminasyon:
latest antitank units
Doktor Iluminasyon:
look at them
Morgan:
I'm not seeing a S. America region section
Doktor Iluminasyon:
anttank?
Morgan:
Rofl
Morgan:
Mechs?
Morgan:
Damn

Morgan:
god ******* damnit
Doktor Iluminasyon:
wut
Morgan:
all the stuff I'm researching should be done in about two months
Morgan:
but it isn't getting researched
Doktor Iluminasyon:
not a single step?
Morgan:
"completion time: unknown"
Morgan:
Not a single step
Doktor Iluminasyon:
prerequisites are ok
Doktor Iluminasyon:
?
Doktor Iluminasyon:
research funding is ok?
Morgan:
hold on
Morgan:
Immediate Prerequisites: none
Morgan:
Research funding is 400 ******* million
Morgan:
and most of them have a cost of 90 mil
Morgan:
or below
Doktor Iluminasyon:
tech level matches the design?=
Doktor Iluminasyon:
USA Class: Carriers

WHAT
Doktor Iluminasyon:
a million KM range,
Doktor Iluminasyon:
60 Km\
Doktor Iluminasyon:
h
Morgan:
Wouldn't "higher tech level" be in the immediate prerequisites?
Doktor Iluminasyon:
****
Doktor Iluminasyon:
research facilities are a-ok=
Doktor Iluminasyon:
not under siege?
Doktor Iluminasyon:
supplied?
Morgan:
It's not under siege
Morgan:
I assume it's supplied, since it's right next to my ******* capital
Doktor Iluminasyon:
goddamnit
Doktor Iluminasyon:
electricity and all stuff ok?
Doktor Iluminasyon:
****
Morgan:
I'm not being warned about shortages
Doktor Iluminasyon:
wait a few days?
Doktor Iluminasyon:
maybe they'll figure out
Morgan:
I had this problem the last time I tried playing
Morgan:
months and months
Morgan:
no research
Morgan:
ever
Doktor Iluminasyon:
I'll post it at the forums right away
Also, I'm spending 300.00 million dollars on research, but none of my research is getting done. Something doesn't seem right.
