You can get a tech and its prerequisite at once, so if we get first signs from China, we can do Renewable Energy + First Signs + Improved Comms tonight ($11) and Detailed Scans tomorrow - it'd cost $16 to get all four.

SADPACT is considering changing their vote in return for, and I quote, "research agreements for all of your tech." I'm pretty ignorant on the science side, so do you think this is worth it Jaykaos?

It sounds like we're slightly ahead on military tech (specifically Conscription, Strategic Reserves, and Air Filters) and behind on everything else, and so far as I know none of the SADPACT members are particularly close to us - I'm okay with it, but if anyone has reservations about distributing military tech that's the only potential issue.

I doubt we'll be invading SADPACT anytime soon, so I'm not terribly concerned with it. Can I get a list of every tech we have?

Sure-
Cause of Infection Strategic Reserve Conscription Personal Air Filters Anti-Viral Drugs (Ethical)
Like I said, we may be a bit behind, so if possible I'd avoid providing the list until they make their vote. If necessary, you can promise them one of the things we're getting tonight, which (assuming I get my requested budget)- First Signs Renewable Energy Improved Comms

how much is your requested budget? I might have missed that, assuming I'm allowed to see it.

Thought I put that in one of these threads, forget where - $11, two research agreements with China plus one completely on our own.

Alright, I've given you your budget. Does Diplomacy want anything? It looks like our deal with SADPACT may not go through.
Timspork, feel free to figure out what you're going to need, we should be good for it. Maybe add maintenance not paid as orders to all units with upkeep that aren't doing anything; I left them as doing nothing last turn and I think the hosts punished me by charging maintenance on them all.

I thought you don't pay upkeep unless you want them to move? It says that in the military rules.

That's what I thought, but we lost a lot of money yesterday and the hosts have ignored all my requests for clarification.

So tonight we're researching- First Signs (with research agreement with China) Renewable Energy (with research agreement with China) Improved Comms

TECH RESULTS
First Signs Scientific studies have found ways to detect the virus in individuals previously thought to be symptom-free. These individuals are greatly disoriented by bright lights, and a simple “flashlight check” is often enough to screen them from healthy civilians. You are aware that most countries will not know if they are infected until their infection counter hits level 3. You will be accurately aware of your infection level at all times.
Renewable Energy
Your dedication to uncovering alternative energy sources is admirable. Your continued research in this field has finally hit a breakthrough. Using a combination of natural resources, you are now much less dependant on foreign energy imports. This frees up some funding for other enterprises.
You have gained a permanent $5 increase in spending each turn.
Improved Comms
With your energy problems taken care of, you have devised a system that will increase the power and range of your communications technology. This will allow you to detect unwanted intruders in your country.
You will be warned if enemy agents are in you country.

As you become aware of these monsters, your scientists note that new technologies will shortly become accessible. The entire first Tech Tree is now visible here: drive.google.com/file/d/0B_Pwy5np7dT9dHZCWkN4WDBVRTg/view?usp=sharingTechs with an orange/yellow tint will lead to further technologies on the second Tree. Second Tree techs will be more expensive.

Man Lightweight gear would be useful in Russia.

Yeah, hadn't realized how useful that's be earlier - I'm waiting to discuss with other scientists on the SADPACT board and see what they have, but I'm gonna try and keep research expenditures under 10, so either Detailed Scans and Fight It with Fire, or Fight with Fire and Firestarters. If I get enough help with one/several of those I can get Lightweight Gear as well which should help shuffle dudes around.
