Researching technology is a key part of building a powerful territory. In each technology branch, you must research the techs in order from the easiest to research tech to the most difficult. To research Uranium Refining and the Nuclear Bomb tech, you are required to have every single tech. These are the technologies, and how many turns it takes 100,000 employed scientists to research them. We recommend you do not research with anything less than 300,000 scientists.

NB. Due to recent game changes turn counts may be inaccurate.

All tech bonuses are cumulative, even if they seem as though they would not. So when one has advanced mechanization, one is ready for standby on average 5 turns sooner than a player without mechanization. A player with 88mm gun gets the bonus of 88mm gun and 75mm gun at the same time. Tech bonuses and country bonuses are all multiplied together, so that a Japanese player with Machine guns(a 25% bonus) and the Japanese platoon defense bonus(25%) would have infantry with a total defense of 4.6875(Base Value 3 X 1.25 X 1.25=4.6875).
