Realistic Research - Lite

Realistic Research - Lite V 1.01

The purpose of this mod is to make Eurekas and Inspirations more vital to your progress through the Tech and Civics trees.

Techs and Civics are now 2 times more expensive. In other words, boosts are now much more important.

Eurekas and Inspirations now boost 75%. This gets you to the cost of where base game boosts get you.

Made some changes to Eurekas and Inspirations for gameplay and for realism.

China's trait Dynastic Cycle: Eurekas and Inspirations provide 80% of civics and technologies instead of 75%.

This keeps China at their original balance.
