Fluffy Bunny Feet Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 What does researching Improved Weapons (and Advanced Weapons, Improved / Advanced Food Concentrates etc) do? Does it open up more ground unit types? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WKE235 Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 I'm close to completing Advanced Weapons and Food Concentrates with one race. I'll tell you if anything opens up. So far, despite every other advance, the Improved ones led to nothing. But, it may be completing the Advanced Material opens a new path to structures or items that are built using Improved items? We'll see. It may even be I need some 5th gen horizon techs completed as well to get something from the Improved materials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhaseDragon Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 And if you find out that you gain the ability to build energy sapper torpedoes then we won't hear from you...LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowKitsune Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 I think you will hear from him regardless. In the case of Energy Sapper Torpedoes, you might not like the message delivery system. -SK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WKE235 Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 I have completed Advanced Weapons and unlocked for research .... NOTHING! Sigh, as I guessed, I likely need some other advances in some 4th gen horizon techs. Sigh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ixitixl Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 I actually researched Improved Plantfoods earlier on in the game in the hopes that it would unlock something! Eventually I am going to research Advanced Plantfoods when I have acquired some of the horizon tech that I believe, when combined, will reveal something new. Or, it will reveal nothing and I have wasted a lot of precious research time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternusIV Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 My guess? Horizon Techs seem to open up installations or devices that will require the higher level goods. So far - I haven't seem anything open up EXCLUSIVELY through advanced materials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WKE235 Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 True. I was hoping I had enough horizon advances so Advanced Weapons would open something up. Like Subterranian City requiring 3rd Gen Civil + Advanced CM. I was hoping I had all the 3rd gens, enough so Advanced Weapons + "X" would give something. Just have to keep researching.
