I'll have to wait until I play it to see how OP additional research slots are. I hope there are scenarios where it would pay off more to go other routes early.
Not sure I understand your post. You ask if there are extra slots in the NF trees (there are) then go on to talk about how your going to beeline them when you play suggesting you already know they are there!
This isn't meant to be harsh but I just want to clarify in case I'm missing something!
And yes they are powerful but sometimes you may need or want infrastructure instead or you urgently need to fix a political or diplomatic situation.
It seems like the Polish and French WWWs were smarter to go another route due to pressing problems in the historical options.I'll have to wait until I play it to see how OP additional research slots are. I hope there are scenarios where it would pay off more to go other routes early.
Yeah, nvm I spaced out for a few.what?? There are 2 extra research slot for every nation...
I see them in the tech tree in all of the countries.... I'm not sure if any can be found in the NF tree. Good point though I can probably just go back and look at the DDs for countries, but I don't think they went into a great deal of detail into the focuses.
