They are 22 vs. 20 of the Discovery Sphere. Get enough Discovery Spheres and you can research very fast too. What you overlook is just how much earlier you can get NLCs compared to Discovery Spheres. You don't have to research Invention Matrix or Discovery Sphere first, nor do you waste any Social production building Invention Matrix' everywher
After having already been stung by using my credit card on the net, I just refuse to do it now. (A sting of 3000 pounds, fortunatly I did sort it out ok) Off topic but a useful tip: Get a second or separate checking account with no overdraft protection (this is important). Stick a couple hundr

This is an 11 page thread so forgive me if these have already been asked for: 1. In the civilization management window where you are presented with the entire list of planets, what they're building etc, please have an indicator of some kind that displays what the planet's current Production Focus is.
