Shattered World Technology and Research Page

This page is for technology, researching and bonuses that make technology worth researching. There is also research funding, giving your country a technological advantage.

Research Funding

Research funding is used to advanced tech years. However, it is very expensive to advance technology. There are five levels of research funding. They are Level 1 (Minimum), Level 2 (Low), Level 3 (Average), Level 4 (High) and Level 5 (Maximum). Level 1 costs 20$ billion but allows you to advance 1 tech year every 5 years. Level 2 costs 50$ billion but allows you to advance 1 tech year every 2 years. Level 3 costs 100$ billion but allows you to advance one tech year every year. Level 4 costs 200$ billion but allows you to advance 2 tech years every year. Level 5 costs 500$ billion but allows you to advance 5 tech years every year.

Tech Year

Tech years are used to advance in technology and gain a military advantage over the enemy. In order to research new technologies, your tech year must that year or higher. Having more tech years means unlocking more technologies to research. This could make even the smallest country one of the most powerful. There is also a global tech year. This is how many years all other countries are advancing in tech. This can attract immigrants or increase emigration and decrease happiness. Having a lower tech year then the world is a bad thing, and having a better tech year then the world is a good thing. Below is a chart of tech years and tech year advancement as well as global tech year;

Technologies
Technologies are used to gain bonuses in the economy, military and other areas. They cost 100$ billion to research, yet give good bonuses. They require you to have a certain tech year, however, in order to research the new technologies. Below is the technologies, their description, tech year and their bonuses;

Note: More technologies will be added as the years progress in the game.
