Just thinking about balancing techer with other strats.

A) Increase TPT forumla by 10% - increases supply to the market
B) Slightly reduce (3-5%) tech required to reach max tech - reduces demand for technology and increases the speed at which other strategies max techs.

As a balance, particularly on longer servers introduce a private market for tech.

A Mon farmer with 200% tech will produce 10.6 bushels = $307 per acre selling on the private market
With no increase in TPT the equilibrium point is $921
With a 10% increase in production the equilibrium point would be $837 per point
Set a purchase point of $7k on the priv market with a max of 5 Points per acre of land for each tech.

Private market tech is not impacted by mil tech or military bases.
Private market tech sell price is impacted by labs at sell price = base price x (1.4x(1-labs/land)). In essence 100% labs will increase the sell price by 40%. This essentially sets a public market floor sell price of $1170 for a Demo and $1246 for a non-demo (not commie)

Reason for equilibrium point being at a mon farmer with 200% opposed to higher is to compensate for techer being very strong during the early-mid game (express is a bit of an exception at times).

Part of me would also like to see the max for Bus/Res tech increased to 190% as a non-demo/theo.

In games with bots, the numbers will need to be tweaked as to not crash the market too early.
