I would like to mention something here which I personally feel might be interesting to discuss. And I basically want you guys opinion of it. As in, is it just me who has this experience and opinion or is it universal? I am not suggesting a change or saying it's a good idea though. Just providing my own observation to see what you guys think.
To put it very simply I find the speed of tech and thus unit tier progression to be somewhat imperfect. As in, the ratio of time you have to play with early vs mid vs late tier units just seems off to me.
If I set the game speed to be real slow, than the mid game lasts as long as it should, but the early game stage drags on far too long. And if I set the game to go fast enough for the early game to be reasonable than the mid game stage just zips by. Also, this is something I actually feel about vanilla CIV as well.
So am I the only one here who wishes that mid game lasted longer comparatively to the early and end game? Like, I almost want the game to drop a whole game speed in terms of research rate once I hit the first era transition.
PS. I am exclusively talking about the speed of technology gain and thus getting new unit types. I absolutely do not think that building units or buildings should last any longer than it already does. That would be very bad indeed.
I 100% concur.
