What happens when I put a tech capital on a tech tile?

April 24, 2008 9:14 PM from

If I have a tile that gives 100% to research, should I put a technological capital there or would it be a waste? i.e. would it be better to have a 100% lab + 100% capital vs. a 100%+100% tile and a lab?

Complete waste - bonus tile only boosts structures that produce points. A tech capital or research coordinator does not directly produce points, so they don't get boosted.

The simple fact that Frogboy himself responded to this thread, is just so damn amusing and funny to me. And it made me think of the "Good Robot" news screen popping up and making the Player feel bad for even thinking of putting a tech capital on a research bonus tile. The audacity of it all.

It's interesting that this behavior isn't universal though - influence and morale are +% bonuses, so it's not unreasonable to assume that tech and industry would work that way too...
