I think this is wrong in the CIV4EraInfos.xml
<iResearchPercent>50</iResearchPercent>
<!-- BBAI start: effectively modify cost for all techs from this era. Default: 0 -->
<iTechCostModifier>0</iTechCostModifier>
<!-- BBAI end -->
Pretty sure it should be iResearch 100 ITechCostModifier 50
The iResearch is for Advanced start im pretty sure, so if you start in Ancient your tech will cost 50% less for the rest of the game, whereas the iTechCostModifier affects the cost per era.
That is my understanding.
Also in the CIV4HandicapInfo.xml Noble has this (which is AI):
<iHealthBonus>2</iHealthBonus>
<iHappyBonus>4</iHappyBonus>
Emperor has this:
<iHealthBonus>2</iHealthBonus>
<iHappyBonus>4</iHappyBonus>
I think you should change it to this.
