Imbalance of culture rates between TEC and Advent

from Stardock Forums

Hi guys,

New to the game and playing entrenchment in SP.

Just noticed a discrepency when watching a replay:

The advent equivalent to broadcast centre generates 3 culture/sec base (no upgrades)

The TEC one generates 3.8 culture/sec base (also no upgrades)

To me that means that TEC one beats advent one hands down, just to compete in culture on an equal level - the advent player has to research 5 culture upgrades.(max of 6)

Whereas TEC has another 4 upgrades, and if he researches 2 - will out culture advent centre, for centre. 

(don't know what the vasari one is)

I was under the impressio that advent were supposed to be the culture specialists (yes even if it does come out earlier - at teir 2, still doesn't make up for it vs TEC, theirs coming out at tier 3)

Thoughts from more experienced players?

Nah you got it wrong.  Culture building generates 10 culture per second divided by the number of phase lanes.  After it passes a planet the nubmer is halfed I think.

Astax got it. All broadcast towers generate the same amount of culture. The amount you see on the tooltip is after the culture gets divided along every phase lane.
