1) Both bonuses increase with each level.
2) No new goods.
3) I don't really understand this one, as medals aren't needed for research.
4) Technology costs are consistent with what we've been seeing so far, and yes, Orichalcum is still necessary as that's the new good introduced in Oceanic as a whole.
5) It may have been unintentional and changed since then, but when they were originally introduced on beta the Nautilus AI ignored rogues even in areas where that usually doesn't happen (neighborhood, GvG, GE). That could be something of a game-changer for certain people but again, this was early in beta and may not be the case anymore.
