Guest Nerf Herder Posted December 6, 2001 Share Posted December 6, 2001 I have a questions regarding when you should upgrade your resource collecting? Recently I've been doing it right after I tech-up, if I can. But I do notice lately that I've been teching-up slowly. I was wondering if I should wait awhile, like in tech3 and later. Another question thats kind of on the same topic. Should I also upgrade the Motivation (workers move faster and carry more) as soon as possible, or should I save that for when I have a good supply of resources. For the last few days I've been getting to Tech3 at about 26 mins and up, and sometimes even in the 30 min range. I don't know what I'm doing different, but I use to get to Tech3 in the low 20's. Maybe I'm using too much resources on upgrading my collection of resources. Any advice would be appriciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarWarsFanMan Posted December 6, 2001 Share Posted December 6, 2001 I upgrade the workers as soon as I have collected enough resources for it. They gather more than enough resources after to compensate for the ones lost and help advance to the next Tech level considerably faster, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually upgrade resource and similar techs after I have clicked the "tech up" button, but while the tech is being reseached. It takes a few minutes, and while it's doing that, as my resources come in, I use it to up the carbon collecting, ore collecting, etc. This way, by the time the new tech level comes, all my resourcers are going at a faster rate, and that means I can start buying all the new units you get (and unit improvements) with each new age. May the Force be with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emowilli Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 If you want to be fast you need to wait till you are upping to tech 3. On a good map I can tech 3 under 16 mins. My record so far is 15:35 with ~27 villagers. The resource upgrades are very important, but so is getting to tech 3 quickly. Against good players, you either need to rush in tech 1/2 or get to 3 as quickly as possible. Emo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
