I fired up civ 5 for the first time in a few months this week and if I recall correctly I was prompted to install an update to the community balance patch. The only mods I run are the bundles related to the patch/overall see image link http://puu.sh/z4Crw/490bacaffc.jpg )
In my first game playing on Prince an AI reached the Atomic era by turn 200. I thought this was really odd but I wasn't knowledgeable enough to diagnosis it as a fluke so I started a new one. Well this game ~turn 160 halfway through the classical era I unlocked my 4th social policy and the game rewarded me with ~5000 science, faith and gold. It immediately became apparent this is what happened to the civ in my last game allowing it to runaway. Every tech through the next 2 eras only cost 1 turn of science.
This can't possibly be intentional right?
