I have no prob with your scale mark so long as every basic tech goes on that scale of 0-100. The problem I have is if we start having techs starts later (ie 30) because with FF techs everything would already be over 100 which IMO would confuse the player. Also we'd have to set up a system of averages for all relevant techs when its developed because since we can't determine the future that well putting arbitrary numbers in to start at is IMO going a little to far. With the 0-X method (X being potetially infinate) then no one has to worry because they know what each level represents basically. IE they know that 10 for Agriculure will represent basically the same level of effort, input, advancement, etc as 10 in electronics.

Okay, so this is just the same issue that we've been debating for months. We both think the other's approach is counterintuitive and will confuse the player. I suggest we just let Richard be the tiebreaker on this one, and start using whichever way he prefers. Once people start using the system we can see if it works okay, or we should try the alternative method.
