Default Re: Central Computer Complexes -- am I missing something?

Well, technically, since the level 3 Computer Complex provides a 30% bonus, a fourth research center would provide slightly more points than the computer complex.

An example:
3 Research Center 3's generate 700 points each, for a total of 2100 points. A Computer Complex 3 provides a 30% bonus, which comes out to 630 points, while a fourth Research Center 3 would provide 700 points.

Now, once you have 4 Research Centers, you can build that Computer Complex 3. At this point, the 4 RC's provide 2800 points per turn, and the 30% bonus is 840 points (obviously higher than the 700 points you'd get for a fifth Research Center).

The same reasoning can be applied to all the other "Bonus" facilities (Robotoid Factories, Citizen Databanks, etc.).
