How this system affects decisions

Treat research as a sequence of choices: check its building, Age, prerequisite, cost, and the units or economy affected. An upgrade is most valuable when it arrives before the army needs it and improves enough of the units already in production; researching every available technology is rarely the best use of a limited stockpile.

How to use this reference

Adjust scenario-wide rules such as starting age, technology availability, team settings, and other gameplay options supported by the editor. In custom scenarios, this tool or rule shapes the authored map rather than an ordinary ranked-match opening. Its effect depends on the objects, conditions, and player slots used in that scenario.
