Firstly, there are tech Tiles, these tiles, which can be bought with Spice and give you either one-off powers, passive bonuses or endgame point dividends. Not only are these tech tiles great for making you feel different to everyone else but how you earn them is sumptuous, you can get discounts depending on which space you go to or even commit troops as negotiators, leaving them in the tech area to offer future discounts.
