Apologies gentlemen; however, I am just too slow to follow those examples. I have decided to leave them as separate components that phase out. Now how about something a little less complex, how would I tackle this one?

I have the component �Bottomless Fiend Grinder� [BFG] and I want another generation to come available every other level. So for example:

At tech level 1 you get BFG 1.
At tech level 3 you get BFG 2.
At tech level, ya Ok you get the idea�

How would I do that?

Requirement:

GETL("x") > [%Level%] * 2

...or GETL("x") > (([%Level%] * 2) - 1) for an odd series.

Ok; now I understand this and the other formula (1st and 12th tech level)! I was way over thinking the whole thing. Thanks guys, back to the grind till the next question.

If I use a formula that generates a fraction what will SE do? Choke and die, round up, round down, or ignore all fractions?

Most formulas can do decimal entries and the result is either rounded off or used as is depending on what it is affecting. For example, damage is rounded to whole number, while population reproduction or sight level is not. Formula fields that don't use decimals usually return a value of 0.

How about the build rate for a construction yard; dropped I would think.
