Author Topic:   Different research screen never seen before?

Tyrkas posted 03-11-99 11:29 AM ET
I was playing the demo the other night (just perfecting my moves) when I started a new game. When the first turn came up and you had your scout my finger twitched on my mouse button at least twice if not three times in a second. From then on I got a selection of the various projects I wanted to research (Flexibility, Social Psych, Mobility, etc). As my cursor would go over each one they would highlight slightly, I click and away I went.
Has anyone else every seen this and is this carried over into the final version? I tried repeating this on later games but could never get it to happen again.
This is not a problem, just a question. I thought it was kinda cool to be able to specifically pick what to research.
Go Firaxis!

You have the ability to select at the beginning of the game wether research is blind (you only select the area - Explore, Build, etc. - not the actual tech, or full vision - which allows you to actually pick your techs - doctrine: mobility, secrets of the human brain, etc.
