[Ragnarok]

Well others might be able to tell you better then I can. But really there is NO right or wrong way to reseach anything. You have to adapt it to your game. Each game is different in some ways. Some games you may want to use missles to take out your enemy, another game you might one direct fire weapons. It all changes from game to game. So just keep that in mind and mess around with it and you'll catch on real quick. It also depends on how you like to play. There's many different playing styles out there.

You say this is such a massive game it was hard to jump right in? Well that's true, have you ever played SEII or SEIII? I grew up with SEII (never played SEIII) so it was alot easier for me to jump in to SEIV. In about a weeks time I had it down pretty good. Still had to mess with research though. But that's all I can tell ya is just make your own best way of research. Hope it helps.
