I don't know, never played with that mod. But going by logic alone, that's exactly the kind of mod where I would expect to see such a change, because it's a mod that mostly adds stuff towards the end. The author might have run into the overflow issue and come to the conclusion that changing the game speed scaling is the the cleanest way (that I can think of) to prevent people from running into the issue without having to make changes to the techs, buildings etc. from the previous eras.
That's pure speculation of course, maybe he just thought that players would not want to play with 300% modifiers if there's additional content towards the end.
But in either case, changing the game speed modifiers circumvents most compatibility issues with other mods that would arise if the author were to make changes to other aspects of the game, because the game scales everything automatically. Unless the authors of other mods have used some fixed turn intervals per game speed in their code instead of basing them on the game speed modifiers, most mods should not run into any compatibility issues.
Of course in a project such as this, compatibility with other mods is, let's say, at best a minor concern, so other solutions may lead to more fitting results.

True. I guess, given the hard beaker limit, there are only so many ways to "extend" the gaming experience time-wise. Thanks for your tip - it will help me greatly on a mod I'm working on with a similar issue!

I like the "smooth" transition from Nazism into Electric Shavers =)

PabloX, how is the work going on? I know it's asking too much, but try to avoid "centrisms" like "schiltron" could be very well "shield wall", don't you think?

@King Morius Im will back to modding after 8 days than ask me how is the work going 
And that "shield wall" is more suitable for ancient era where first time shield were used. I respect your opinion but Im will add technologies as I like, of course if you want to replace some tech with another than Im will consider this. Im will "fix" that schiltron in the future I think, have a nice day
