The best starting tech tri-fecta

[Biv]

When I start a new game, I hope for the perfect combo starting tech.....at least in my opinion I've got it a couple of times now.


I don't remember the exact names, but one is bionics, which gives you +5% minerals (and army damage). Always a nice boost.


The second is Research Tech, which gives you +5% on all research.


I can't remember what the third is called at all, but it gives you +1 unity.




What are your favorite early game techs?

Solar panels so I can get a lot of mineral stations down, exo suits for bonus to minerals/army damage and either second tier unity building or united world which is the +1 influence.

Love the +5% minerals, Research and +1.0 influence ( I think you also get additional leaders spots?)

You get the Propaganda Campaign planetary edict which is +10% happiness. Later tech involving bonus faction influence gives more leader slots or larger pool.

I think the one I want to get at the start is called Self aware AI which gets you an extra research choice. It's very handy when you get this one at the start as you will almost always get the research tech you wanted to show up. Like with spaceport upgrades, you then almost always get a spaceport upgrade to choose.

This is what I opt for.
