I attempted something like this with AWLS, in that hi-tech units produced more tech points specifically for researching the next tech (i.e. level-1 Carriers produced level-2 Carrier tech points). The problem is that, if the AI isn't researching Level-2 Carriers, then the research points just pile up unused. This wouldn't be too much of a problem, because they'd eventually be spent when that tech was researched, but on top of this comes the lack of a generic tech source, so now you can only research Level-2 Carriers with level-2 carrier tech. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
