Human Cloning
I was thinking about reasearching this, but Im not sure what it would do. I figured it would increase the rate at which your reservers increase as you clone super soldiers!!!! unfortunatly it doesn't tell what the tech does, and the tech isn't a prerequisite to anything else...so Im not sure its worth researching. It cost alot, takes like 2 years to complete, and is unfavorable to both world and public opinion.

I wish they had a description for every tech. Even if it simply stated it was a pre-req. However, a ton of techs have abolslutely nothing listed in thier descriptions and there is no telling what they do or if they do anything at all!
The devs really need a seperate tech tree screen where it shows the relationships and descriptions of every tech. Something ala Civ4's tech screen would be very nice.

For maybe 5% of themBalthagor wrote:If you select a technology in one of the subdepartments you should find a description there and the effects of technologies are seen in the tooltip when you mouse over the tech.
Let me look right now and list off just afew that have nothing as a description:
Anti-Vaccine
Nueral Receptive Organs
Adaptive Materials
Electro Active Polymers
Nano-Metallurgy
Advances Power Techs
Electro-Thermal systems
Nano-chemistry
Nano-Computing
Advanced Vehicle Fuels
Active Armor Protection
Advanced APS-KE
Advanced Attack Helicopters
on and on...
There is nothing in the project effects box when you mouse over these.

The root techs for these are also useless since they give no benie and are only used as pre-reqs for these two dead ends that were never incorporated but are still in the game.
To be FAIR, they DO affect diplomacy, but considering you can't actually do anything with them after that it's kind of pointless to ever research them.

I've read on some other thread here that the Completion bonus actually relates to your tech level, that is, researching techs with high completion bonus advances your tech level. If this the case, then there would be some point to this tech, even though at this stage you are so far off in the tech tree i'm not sure there is a lot more you need to improve...

That's a unit prerequisite for mechs.llsoth wrote:Bipedal Walkers?
That is true. Also techs like these have both a World Support rating and a Population Support rating meaning it can be used to improve relations and your domestic approval.Bjecas wrote:I've read on some other thread here that the Completion bonus actually relates to your tech level, that is, researching techs with high completion bonus advances your tech level...
So, any others?

ah, bummer, they are not currently in :(
We had a few techs that had errors late development and had to pull some units that listed them as prerequisites, it seems the mechs were part of this. I had worked really hard to make sure there were units for every tech prerequisite, that late change caught me.
Okay, there is at least one tech that doesn't lead anywhere, but that will be fixed in an update (not update2, that will be out too soon to resolve those tech tree issues). If you find any more, let me know...
FYI, Mechs will range from tech level 127-140.
