1.6. Game Setup Options

1.6.1.3 Technology Cost. The technology progression formula used varies for each of the three levels (Low, Medium, and High). Where (LC = Level Cost) and (L = Level);

Low tech cost - LC*L
Mid tech cost - LC*(L²/2)
High tech cost - LC*(L²)

(Andres Lescano)

1.6.1.3.1 The Technology Progression Formula is useful when trying to calculate the value of tech trades in multi-player games.

1.6.1.4 Player Settings, Racial Points. In the Game Setup --> Player Settings screen, the Racial Points for New Players setting must match (or exceed) the amount of racial points used to create a player empire file. For example, if you created a empire race using 5000 racial points, you can only use them in a game which has 5000 point setting enabled.

1.6.1.5 Players. Use the "Add Existing" option to select existing AI or player races for your game. Remember to select Edit and select "Controlled by Computer" for AI races, and "Controlled by Player" for player races!
