I see that things like Tradition and Great Library being a necessity now, has been discussed on more threads. But I also see that Science has become problematic as well. Prior to BNW I could play on lower difficulties without the fear of falling behind in science, now that is not the case any more. On higher ones I don't have problems with falling behind because there the point is the gameplay and to survive as a civ. But on lower ones I always want to immerse my self and then I end up researching Flight in 1980s?! Science is truly the only thing that troubles me right now in BNW everything else is great about the game. So I just want to see if other people are having the same problems?
My proposal to fix the science is that they boost the science buildings, to make them more powerful. Prior to G&K University added 50% science and Public School added 1 science per every citizen (not 1 per every 2 like Library that is the case now). I really hope Firaxis will fix some of these issues in their Fall Patch. Because now Great Library and Tradition is a necessity, and not being able to build cities so fast as you could before. For me this breaks a little bit of sandbox style of the game, at least for the first dozen turns. I really hope this would be looked to in the future.
