It does not apply to DA at least.  Doing ZYWs, there are several turns where I get 3 techs/turn, without having three planets.

Sentient species taste better...

I still have enountered something of a similar nature in DA. Though i certainly agree with KP that 3 techs per turn with one planet is quite doable i wonder if the limit is there still but the value has been change.

Anyone ever had 4 techs per turn in a ZYW (1 planet) or 5 techs. I don't recall but it's some thing that needs looking into.

I can't recall getting more than 3 techs per turn.  My ZYWs nowdays typically exceed 1000RPs on my primary planet and still no more than 3 per turn.  I always have a secondary planet, so I'm not sure about the 1 planet thing though.

Welcome to the threads, Random70!    It's good to see you posting.  Stop by and say hi at our empire site too, if you'd like.  

Welcome Random! Thanks Adder!

It's not a limit of 1 tech per turn.

It's a limit of 1 tech per owned planet per turn.

Thx, Sole Soul. I'll try that out. I don't typically colonize my secondary planet. I usually save my colony ship to upgrade to a transport later.

Thx to everybody who chimed in on the ZYW tech thing. Apparently Sole Soul nailed it with the 1 tech per planet bit. Tried one out today and as usual got 1 tech per turn. Reloaded, colonized my secondary and voila, two techs per turn.

That's because you had two planets.

Where P is the number of owned planets, the limit is P techs per turn for DL, and P+1 techs per turn for DA and TA.

Well, seeing as nobody has posted here in a few days, I guess that means it's time for me to bring up something random. I promise to not let anyone down...

... I've been combing through the AAR section of the GC2 forums, and I've come across quite a few incredible AAR's, many of which seem to come from themocaw. His AAR "Diary of a Terran Soldier" may be one of the greatest AAR's ever written. Just out of curiosity, what are my fellow tyrants favorite AAR's?

Any other people that usually post here are welcome to voice their favorite AAR's too.

... See - I told you guys I'd make sure my topic was totally random. I never fail to disappoint in the "Random" department... 

a totally random topic would be how they make sugar white (answer: bone meal).

i've never read any of the AARs, but i know one of our AWOL members, FireBender, started a Themocaw thread on the ToE site.

There is a whole AAR forums with some of the more popular aar's on ToE, Diaryu of a Terran solider is there.

And yes it is awesome.

Any comments on the above rule noticed, specifically with regards to DA+TA (albeit 1 more than DL) about owned planets and researched techs per turn, since it's in-thread?

I'm not a tyrant, but I'll put a pitch in for my TS testing AAR So you want to be an isolationist

I'd pitch a bc in for Neilio's AAR Altair's First Strike...but he's yet to wrap that one up ~coughs~

It seems you have linked the words "Altairs First Strike" to your testing AAR...

Possibly some "accidental" advertising?
