My guess is that, when voting for "collect resources," people really just mean oil...which almost certainly brings about significant upgrades more quickly and effectively than the museum can.
phil_dee Not necessarily- some of us are not at the level where oil even comes into it. Eg I’m at GPA (lvl 108) at the moment I’m holding off going to enlightenment as I’m maxed out on the uni research to try to get troops that don’t die when someone waves at them. No one attacks me as I already had a very defensive base so all my efforts are on upgrading offence and resources to do it.
