Future Tech Question

[SW-14]

What exactly do the future techs do? I just got Future Tech 1 and I don't see anything that I can do with it. Thanks

 

[SW-14]

Can you please help im really anxious to get back to playing. Thanks a lot!

not sure. my guess is, you are rewarded with just points as in civ2. That was one thing I disliked about civ2. It's a shame if they didn't come up with something better than rewarding you with points. maybe a new unit would've been nice or gold or resources. I could be wrong, I haven't reached that far yet.

One time I got till like future tech 9 and I didn't get anything

 

[highflyin213]

you get one point added on to your score

 

[mazzz]

I would recmoned just to turn science off once you get to the furtute tech opne, you gold tons more gold

 

[general Patton]

or if you want score put it on luxuries and make all kinds of happy people which in turn makes it easy to have WLTKD which lowers corruption

there should be better use for these things. i.e. if you get to every future tech ending in zero, you could get one bonus, which would be chosen by the computer, such as earning 5%, or getting one more unit per city for free...

i belive it adds 5 points to your sore, possibly modified by difficulty (as score is modified like that).

Therefore,
5 for chieftain
10 for warlord
15 for regent
20 monarch
25 emperor
30 diety

all in all, pretty worthless. I rarely get halfway through the modern era, much less future tech, and the bonus they give you is pathetic, with no effect on gameplay. Only useful for those score milkers out there.

Actually it's not all that useful for milkers either... Setting the science slider to zero and the luxury slider to the max will yield a lot more points.....

it boosts your culture and score and that's all i know of

 

[farting bob]

it dont do anything to culture A444. it just adds few points o your overall scre. and i seem to remember that its alot lot less than what hygro said. for soem reason 0.5 per tch but thats a wild guess. and i cant find it anywhere.

Future tech adds the equivelent of 1 content person. So for Chieftain this would be 1 point, and deity 6 points. And these points are averaged through all the turns you have played so far. So if you got Future Tech 1 at 2000 A.D., you would get 1/490 of a point on chieftain (540 turns in the game at 2050 A.D). At 2001 A.D. you would have 2/491 of a point. At 2004 if you got Future Tech 2, then you would have 5/494 of a point, then 7/495 of a point, etc.

You'll score much more by irrigating more tiles and leaving the luxury rate as high as possible.

whatever it is, even if im milking the game, i never research it. science 0%, entertainment 10-20% depending on if im at war or not.

 

[America444]

o i guess your right when i looked under neath the score i thought it showed everything that boosts culture but it says score my bad

 

[Bobacus]

in complete boredom, i'v goten to future tech 57.
