Invest in technology to improve your country's economic and military power. Technology can be acquired from public market purchases and from spending turns creating technology. The research rate is driven by both the number of research labs and the proportion of research labs to total acres.

All technology categories have a maximum benefit. It is easier to reach the maximum benefit on fewer acres because each point of technology loses some effect as the total number of acres increases. You will need to continually invest in technology if you wish to maintain the same benefits while growing in acres.

TechnologyMaximum BenefitDescription
Military 83.3% Military technology makes the private market more efficient by lowering purchase prices and increasing selling prices. It also decreases military expenses paid each turn.
Medical 50.0% Medical technology reduces losses from successful attacks against other countries. It also reduces food consumption by your population and military.
Business 180.0% Business technology increases your maximum per capita income (PCI). PCI is an important component of tax revenue paid each turn.
Residential 180.0% Residential technology increases your maximum population. Each new member of your population makes your country more difficult to destroy, increases tax revenue, and increases food consumption.
Agricultural 230.0% Agricultural technology increases bushel production from farms and unused land area.
Warfare 5.000% Warfare technology increases the chance per turn that your country will create missiles. Your total missile count is limited to the greater of 10 or 1 missile per 200 acres.
Military Strategy 140.0% Military strategy technology increases gains from all successful attacks.
Weapons 150.0% Weapons technology is a force multiplier that directly increases your attack power for standard and special attacks. For example, 5 troops with 120% weapons technology fight just as hard as 6 troops with no weapons technology.
Industrial 160.0% Industrial technology increases military production from your industrial complexes.
Spy 150.0% Spy technology adds a force multiplying effect to your spy forces. In addition, spy technology also increases your cashing bonus by finding undeclared economic activity.
SDI 90.00% SDI technology increases the maximum number of planned strikes per day. One additional planned strike is guaranteed for every 15% of SDI and another planned strike is randomly awarded based on the remainder of the tech. For example, 20% SDI grants 1 additional planned strike with a 33% chance of another planned strike. The maximum number of PS per day is refreshed when bonus acres are awarded.
