My tech roll house roll would read, “any power with $30 or more at the beginning of their turn, will receive 1 free roll @6 to research technology, powers may not purchase more dice for research”
You know, that actually makes sense. After all, the smaller nations with smaller incomes (ANZAC, Italy, China) wouldn’t be spending money to develop new technologies. Only the bigger nations would really do that. One thing though, your rule cuts out UK and Japan, at least until they conquer more territory. I find that hard to do for UK. Although, if they manage to keep all original territories and get that $5 NO, round 2 they will have $33 or more so I guess that counts, right?
It would be really cool to get a free roll each turn, maybe get some techs that you wouldn’t normally see played. Might take a while though. Rolling only 1 die could take a long time to finally get a 6.
Income earned from NOs would definitely count, also, if the UK knew that they were going to receive at least $28, they could save $2 from their purchases to total $30 and get a roll their next turn. Japan would only be out for their first turn as the $10 peace bonus would be more than enough for round 2. I don’t see Italy benefiting unless the take most of africa, and I would have a problem with Russia getting a roll every round, but I guess that would put more pressure on the Axis to get them down to $29 or less. The point is, if you earn a roll great, but you still need to be lucky and roll a 6.
