Oh and Sorry for the confusion it wasnt Tech Points it was Earned Points, and YES, it was a lvl based system that i created to make this game enjoyable only after you max out everything and dont have a purpose to play anymore. Or you can start early in life and enjoy trying something new, cause lets face it.... to reach lvl 2000 based on my system isnt going to happen anytime soon, even if you have 99 Villagers doing Research 24/7/365. Good Luck and cya in 25 yrs...hehe
