1.29f question...is it possible to get techs more often than once every 4 turns?
As I've modded and learned and improved Civ 3, I've found it really coming into its own. But I still have a fairly major complaint. The late game is very tedious. It is my opinion that this is caused, in large part, by the tech rate capping at one tech every 4 turns. Once you've cleared your continent of rivals, and you've committed to the space race, it's just interminable waiting for the techs.
I understand why they made the change, and I agree with it. Science was too important in Civ 2. But 4? I would like to change it to 3, and see if that improves the game, but I couldn't find out where I could do that in the editor. Is this hardcoded in? Thanks for your help. |

load up the .bic/.bix and go to the General Settings tab of the Rules page. Under Technology (bottom left) you can set the minimum and maximum research times

Thanks...for some reason, I thought it would be on the "government" screen.

You can also set the max rate. I think if you set the min/max rate at the same value, the game crashes when you "learn" future techs.
