In the 100 games that I play in, the games seem to end in the 30+ day range and it is impossible to research and upgrade everything - which I acknowledge is part of the game strategy. On day 8 people research MT, L2 LT, upgrade their planes etc. On day 16 more of the same...
What if there was a 3rd slot available called 'FAST TRACK' and if you used it, your research speed was cut in half but at the cost of double the resources in order to speed it up?
This would cause considerable variations to the game.
Would you sacrifice other builds/upgrades on day 7 to have enough resources for the day 8 FAST TRACK research for MT's? Late in the game would you FAST TRACK L2 AA so you could then FAST TRACK SP AA?
How would you manage your resources so you could take advantage of this option?
If you used it early to make LT's, what would that cost be to your entire economy? Your rares would be depleted and probably would have a challenge recovering from it.
