If a player had to research
all the technology in a unmodded, non-racial game by himself with no help from anybody (such as trades, tech discoveries, etc.), he would be required to generate the following research points:
32,862,500 in a low cost tech game.
77,000,000 in a medium cost tech game.
121,137,500 in a high cost tech game.
Of course there is a problem. How could a player research anything without at least Applied Research1 which is worth 100,000 if one extrapolates backward from the values given to Research2 and Research3.
In those terms, it's value may approach infinity.
However, if anyone knows of a use for these useless stats, I would be interested in hearing what it is.
