Yes, but 3 or 4 is pleeeenty for a small game. There are tons of better stuff to research (damage on ships, crystal/metal mining enhancements, population cap increases, media, things like that.) I would put military upgrades fairly low on the totem pole unless you're almost maxed out on ships allowed.

I'm doing much better now, thank you for the help!

I played Oblivion today (a bit too much for one day). A week or two ago I discovered the Shivering Isles. For those who don't know what that place is, it's basically the realm of a mad god. Little did I know how long the main quest there really was. So tonight, I decided to try and finish the Isles' main quest. Which I did. And, as a surprise twist to finish off that part of the game, I now rule that realm. I'm satisified with that ending!

EDIT: Played Skyrim last night and today, the first time I've played it in at least a few months. It's noticably much more organic than Oblivion. I was able to get a pretty cool screenshot this morning. I was in Ivarstead, at the foot of the Throat when I got this picture. I'll have to mess around with some action shots later. My current character I'm creating to be a marksman, and I got a few cool kill-cam scenes (sniped a bandit who was on a lookout tower, hit him in the side of his chest and he fell off the tower).

I decided to kick it old-school with the N64's version of Command & Conquer, and Starcraft 64

Just got a new computer and Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Amazing game. I can't make any progress because I keep replaying the first level with different paths and choices.

I'm trying to play through Geneforge 5verthrow

Persona 4 arena. Greatest fighting game of this generation, easily. In the ranks of MK 9 quality wise. Plus it's perfect fan service.

EDIT: I forgot I'm also playing Catherine at night, which is pretty fun too.

Chugging away at Xenoblade Chronicles and Magicka (which I bought the other day on sale). Magicka is fun and chaotic, and I'm hoping I can play it with friends eventually. Getting to experiment with spells and see their destructive power is quite entertaining. Last night I got to Havindr while waiting for The Olympics to come on, so I put the game on hold after saving the king.

Xenoblade is getting interesting, but I need to progress a bit more to really make story progression. I'm at the point where I need to fight Xord in the Ether Mine, and he's quite difficult. I'm thinking I should grind a little bit so that I'm at least two or three levels above him.

And I've been getting the urge to play Banjo-Tooie, DK64, Kingdom Hearts, and Sly 2, so I have to wait until I see my brother for my N64 stuff and my sister for my PS2 games.

I've got this, but man does it drag at the beginning. I keep skipping over the game, simply because when I do play it, I don't actually get into any combat, and just find myself stuck running around town.

Still playing Diablo III with my wife quite a bit. I'm also half way through Max Payne 3, but the gameplay isn't quite there on that one. The story is really what keeps me going. Other than that, its just a few iPhone games now and then. Sticking more and more to tabletop and less electronic games these days.

I learned how to use the Morrowind Construction Set editor thing tonight, so I played with that a bit. I made a trader mod in Balmora. I plan on doing a fair amount of stuff with it - forts, maybe towns or something. It's pretty fun though.

I stayed up all night watching a two movies. Then finished downloading the Madden 13 Demo, got to playing, and got crushed 24-7 and 17-0. Boy, I must really suck at Madden.

EDIT: Just won a game 14-13.

I also recommend if youre palying advent to heavily invest in culture structures. Advent get a much better advantage when using culture, and it makes your planet population fill up much faster. Giving you a huge boost in economy. And then focus on building up a force. Also investing in defensive structures early on if you're focusing on culture is highly recommended. Phase jump inhibitors and hangar defenses will easily defend a planet from small to medium forces, and anything larger will give you more time to get to that planet to defend it.

Edit: Building additional capital ship slots doesnt hurt your economy as much as regular fleet upgrades. But I dont think Ive ever gone above 5 or 6 capital ships on a large map. Investing in a 2nd ship earlier on can have its advantages as well, its easier to take more planets and save some resources if you invest in 2 capital ships while having a smaller fleet early on.
