138.7 Possible research bug

[Sobaka]

Just started playing 138.7 with France at Deity. All of the first techs in the first column on the tree show 174 turns to complete. Is this intentional? Seems way too long for a first tech. Thanks.

Thal, started again with 138.8 and the same very slow research. Tool tip for science at the top shows:

3.27 Empire wide
+1 for free
+2 from cities
+9 from happiness

Seems like something is missing in the total count for science.

After setting up several new games to test, it appears that the long research time is for marathon spped only. Even in marathon, waiting over 170 turns for the 1st tech is a little excessive.

(1+2)*1.09 = 3.27

If it's 5 free on normal speed, what should it be on Marathon? I haven't played that speed. Maybe we should just leave the free yields a fixed value... but there's frequent requests to scale things to speed, and now that I did scale it...

Until we decide what to do, I'll just remove the speed scaling.

Marathon means u need 3 times food, production, science etc
So there is no need to change the per-player yields as 15 gold we get at start have already 3 times lower value on 3 times slower game of marathon where everything cost 3 times more.

I originally did increase it by 3x and that was reported as a bug too.

U just got confused there, and then so did I.
I tho that the game speed itself tripled the gold for marathon and not your scaling.
In the end the problem was the scaling itself and now when its gone everything should go back to normal.
