DRAS - Tactical opinion needed!

[Sombre]

That last suggestion doesn't sound massively simple.

Also I think Burn is trying to come up with a mod that can be used in all DR games.

Could provide every nation with an early research boost pretty easily. Have them all start with a strong researcher unit that slowly gets worse as the game goes on (using firstshape commands). That way you can rush a couple of levels of research early, then you get stuck into real DR.
