JosEPh_II
TBS WarLord
Same set-up and SVN level as previous Epic test above. Again Sped up by selected leader traits (Scientific, creative, foreign) that net to about 1 beaker per turn per city (say about +550 overall at this speed). Slowed by researching optional technologies (all except Druidism and Shamanism).
Gold income slower at start than Epic speed, but a bit higher at end (+26gold/turn at 100% science). May be impacted by Culture trait, expanding to resources sooner. Minimal trade at end.
Seems a bit off to me versus Epic speed finding - JosEPh, would you like another test run at Snail speed?
If you would that do another that would be excellent.
And yes if Sed life reached by 12,000BC then Research speed still too fast. Your leader traits do give you an advantage in research but even with your Trait boost I was expecting more in the 8,000BC range and would like to see the turn closer to 500.
Did any AI beat you to Sed Life? Or are they all behind because of your Traits?
