anyone who thinks that tech being low has anything to do with the performance of tech last set is completely off base.
the more likely reason tech is 'low' (honestly, if its over 2200 its good) now is because virtually every alliance is netting. I would put down money that alliances that normally go to war have no idea how to build a proper netting country. thus, they are using their war strats and modifying them to netgain. their war strats tend to use tech phases or play as straight techer. this is typically seen in sets where there is mass war too - tech prices start very low because every alliance is teching and dumping their tech/not buying tech. its only when fighting breaks out that tech prices climb.
given that there will likely not be any fighting, i would bet that tech is low all set. you can thank the alliances that typically go to war for that.
laf should war omega or md, give sol or sof a chance to net for once, I blame you guys lol
