Btw, why always 4 tiles of each (base) tech per stack (as stated in the German rules)? If played with two players, I do not see, why 4 are needed instead of just two. Or am I missing something?
I think it is just so they didn't need to make a statement like "place copies of a basic tech equal to the number of players" It is simpler just to say "place all of one type of tech"
Otherwise I could see people trying to argue something like this: in a 2-player game, you can make two stacks of 2 techs using the same tech.
