Default Re: Help! Ran out of stuff to research!!

Not really. The fruits of that research are there until the game ends.



Good point. You don't lose the fruits of the research. But you do lose the fruits of buiding lots and lots of research facilities.

I think my main complaint is twofold. First, the empire who heavily invests in research facilities is strongly penalized at a certain point in the game when s/he runs completely out of new tech to research. Second, this player is even more strongly penalized because s/he now has tons and tons of useless facilities lying around. Compare this to a player who builds only Intelligence facilities. These facilities have value from the start of the game to the end of the game.
