 +===Controlling Opponents Technologies===
 +When you use Espionage to take an enemy technology, you can reap some of it's benefits for yourself, but they don't always work the same.  This section explains the differences.  You can also get into this situation when a capital is captured, but an elimination doesn't occur (i.e. when the original owner of the capital had two capitals).
 +
 +Green Technologies - Take an enemy green tech, and it works for you.  You still need to have territory that the factory bonus would get applied to.  For example, take the final green tech from China and any territories you own in Asia will get +2 at the beginning of your turn.
 +
 +Radar & Satellite - These work just the same.  Take them to expand your vision.
 +
 +Computers & Internet - These do nothing for you, unless you also take the enemy capital, because they only put bonuses into the flask associated with that civilization.  You are just denying the bonus to your enemy by taking them.
 +
 +Flight & Advanced Flight -  You can attack from these to the enemy plane/jet.  Then once you control those, you can use them to fortify your troops.  As the borders between the tech and the planes are attack only on the second edition of Invention, using espionage to take an enemies flight or advanced flight is the only way to get your tech points onto the board as usable troops on the second edition board.
 +
 +Red Technologies - If you have units in an enemy red tech, you can use them to attack just as if they were your own.

 +Review vocabulary section (just below). On your first turn, place your units in your Homeland, use your tech points in your big Flask to take Artillery (1st red tech) & clear out your Nation, then use your units in your homeland to take and secure your Nation. If you start with 3+ territories next to a Lab, try to take it on your first/second turn. Go for Australia or South America if you start with a strong presence there.
