Hello people.

Playing as Germany, I realized that in order to build a decent industrial base and army I have to neglect the research of everything else, which means no nuke, no jet, no flying bomb, or anything close to it until well after historical WWII is over.

I could command 300, 400, 500 IC and half of the world's population, but with 5 tech slots, I won't even have researched basic nuclear fission technologies.

I was wondering what your opinions were as to what the best maximum tech slot number would be for a more realistic and fuller German game, especially since the new tech tree is so immense and industrial research bogs you down in a quite unapologetic way.

BTW - I can't use the latest IC patcher to change slot number on the latest AOD version, it just says "version incompatible". Is there any way I can change the tech slot number manually?

If you want to change it manually look for the db/misc.txt file. The value is at the bottom of the file and should look like this:
