I've been trying to start a new game with tech level beginning at medium to no avail. It appears no different than low.

However, a high starting tech level cleary does work.

The only mod I'm using is Fyron's deluxe quadrant mod. Oh and the image mod.

Ideas?

Medium level only boosts a few tech areas such as energy stream weapons, missiles, etc, and not all of them. If you look closely between low and medium, you'll see a difference!

Most of the medium level techs are theoretical techs that don't give you new technology but open up additional areas of research. eg construction. With medium tech you can get right to researching mines troops and fighters without having to reseacrch construction level 1 first.

Medium mainly gives you 1 level in most of the Theoretical Technologies.

cool. Will have to try the medium setting next time. I didn't want to use it because i assumed it gave you half the tech tree, considering what high level gives. "High" is an understatement.

I guess the levels should read "Low", "Little more" and "Don't bother".
