#7 Technology
Primary Ability: Technological Breakthrough
Recieve one Technology advance (for which you have the necessary prerequisites).
Secondary Ability: Research and Developement
Spend one Command Counter from your Strategy Allocation area and spend 8 resources to recieve one Technology advance (for which you have the necessary prerequisites.
This is the first card I really don't like. I think it will push everyone up the tech tree too fast. In it's current state, Tech advances slowly and the only players who get Warsuns are the ones who invest a lot of time into developing them, at the expense of other pursuits. With this card, I think the whole table will have Warsuns very quickly. It's not so much a balance thing, just a question of taste. I like tech slow, difficult, and meaningful. I think this card takes some of the decision making (and thus strategy) out of the mix. This card is meant for the short-attention spanned power gamers, who want everything maxed out ASAP. It may not turn out that way, but it sure smells like it.
