abridgement for technologies

[Asgorath]

Warzone features a lot of weapons, armours and other technologies. I still do have some problems to see what effects single technologies do have.
Therefore I do have problems to decide what to research next. Because I can imagine that a lot of players not playing Warzone for a long time do have the same problems I kindly want to ask you if you could add some kind of an abridgement for technologies.
I imagine it to be like that: When right-clicking a technology in the research assortment a little window filled with quick facts of the effects (which technologies will be available after researching the selected one? which buildings may be added to the menu?...); strength, range and good/bad against (if it is a weapon); and which technologies may be replaced/improved by it (and how much).
Below the informations there is a button "research". With another right-click you can close the abridgement if you don´t click "research" (then it will close itself and research will start).

Great would be if you could add the informations described above to the intelligence report because so far not every quick fact file contains the changes or effects in detail. Specially weapons don´t.
I also think that a button to compare two technologies directly would be amazing because until now I always have to design a new tank and equip it with different weapons to see their effects/strength, I even do sit in front of my computer with a calculator multiplying firing speed and piercing force to imagine how powerful a weapon is and which one is best.

Thank you in advance,
Asgorath

I think Civ IV shows the right way to go.
But for me it is important that especially for weapons there are more informations like how powerful a weapon is or if it is an upgrade which effect it has in detail.

For example:

Lancer
Range: 9.0
Damage: 341
Rate-of-Fire: 13
Body Points: +38
Enables: Lancer Tower; Lancer Hardpoint
Needed for: Tank Killer
Best Targets: Vehicles
Description: ...
