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.

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".
