Jumping in at the deep end

Keep putting armor back in the front of the queue each time you gain a level, and definitely turn off "divide points evenly". Besides any issue of it being better to get one tech at 2 turns and another at 4 than getting both at 4, the divide evenly setting actually wastes points each time you finish a level in a tech. The amount allocated to the tech is ALWAYS an equal share of your total, regardless of how much is left to do, and any excess just disappears.
