Frogboy, I would have to disagree with the last point you made. I feel that many more people will appreciate the game engine more if they truly understood how it works. Currently you just have it working in the background, which is a very good thing except you advertise all these features and then make people have to dig and look around to actually understand how the game works and how to best play the game. I think that improving the text would increase people's understanding of the game and po

the problem is, once you play the game as much as some of us do, you have the techs memorized anyways, so once that happens it would seem like a big selling point of the game is useless.

I was thinking that, rather than changing the stats in the upper right hand corner that shows up before and after the tech is developed, adding information in the box that talks about the tech. I was wondering if this would work appeasing those who dont think people should know what the techs do until AFTER they are researched. If this is a good idea, i was also wondering if it was possible to be able to bring that box up after the tech was researched, for reference and such. Im not very good at

well, it just so happens that i have nothing to do for a month or two and a currently very bored, if someone could give me a few pointers on how to get started, i would definitely like to try to improve the the techtree and anything else that seems lacking. (They might suck but atleast its worth a try right?)
