I haven't played that much on MOO 2 but i have noticed that the tech I research it can actually be the same all the time no matter what, unlike MOO 1 which is always randomize in every game. Can anyone clarify me on this? Thanks.

This is not including the creative ability. Ive been using the Mecklars, I find them awesome.

Yes the tech tree is always the same. As I'm sure you've experienced in MoO2, with the exception of creative races who get access to all the tech in a given field, often you have to choose which item in the research field you want the most. Uncreative races have the element of randomness thrown back in since they don't get to choose which technology in the field they get access to, they are given one randomly when the field is researched.

Thank you for the reply. Another question, does uncreative get one or it could have multiple random in a single field? If it's multiple sometimes is the same as MOO1 and that is actually the way I like it.

Only one, I'm afraid. You have to trade for/steal any others.

Oh well, Thanks for the info guys. I think I'll play MoO 1 more than 2 because I kinda like that random element to it.
