Team Research on Pacific 1941 (RTW UE)

[derflensburger]

I think I've read about this somewhere but can't find it:


I just started a game as US (RTW UE, Pacific Map 1941, historic dates), wanted to research Improved Bombers to get those B-17s. Research time something like 20 turns.

Then the War starts, I get tons of allies and together we now need almost 80 turns to research the same tech.

Kinda broken I guess. Any solutions?

That is normal. The length of time does increase its part of the increased difficulty when more allies join your side.

 

[derflensburger]

okay, thank you for that answer.

Next question:

RTW, Europe 1936, historical, me playing the US

Eveything normal until I enter the war.

Suddenly all my research time is lowered to one turn!

So basically I research a new tech every turn!

Bug or WAD?

It simulates what happens when America goes on a war footing and technology is shared extensively with Allies. Many of the early techs are quite cheap.

I thought every tech cost exactly the same amount.

No Tech costs more with each step. See the techtree for details.
