* ''VideoGame/Warhammer40000Gladius'' crosses this with YouHaveResearchedBreathing. On the one hand, it's a 4X game. On the other, you have to research things the factions just have on the tabletop, such as grenades and secondary weapons. It feels more like yelling at the Ministorum/Techmarines/Mekboyz/Kryptek/Hereteks/Earth Caste/Bonesingers to let you use the good stuff rather than research. Heck, the Tyranids start out at rock bottom and need to research how to spawn hormigaunts, who have four claws instead of a gun. Justified in that the planet has been lost in [[HyperspaceIsAScaryPlace the Warp]] for a thousand years, and they ''really do'' have to work this stuff out from scratch-basic bitch hand grenades and sponson-mounted guns are legit LostTechnology! The Tyranids are noted to have their HiveMind performing a running cost/benefit analysis, and it might decide that if you're fighting Necrons, you'll need the ''good'' fleshborers but ''not'' the venomous claws, but will make the opposite descision if you're fighting Guardsmen, and figures you'll need both if you're fighting Orks and/or SpaceMarines.

** ''VideoGame/AgeOfMythology''. [[IncrediblyLamePun Ye GODS]], does this game have this. However, whereas you still need to reinvent the Ax for nearly every mission, you can have different gods each level, so it makes sense that you shouldn't carry some god improvement from one level to the next.

Added DiffLines:

** ''VideoGame/AgeOfWondersPlanetfall'' justifies it. The backstory of the game concerns the collapse of the star empire that provided any sort of quick interplanetary logistics, so researching the same common, racial, and [[LostTechnology secret tech]] isn't rediscovering this stuff from the ground up, but implementing means of production and distribution after committing to [[TitleDrop planetfall]] with only the modest resources available to a small ship.
