I love this game, but lately when I play, I've been extremely pacifist and it seems as though I only tech and expand in my games, until around knights,calvary, and tanks. I would like to greatly slowdown research time for techs for all players, so that the early game could be more fun. I almost never use warriors (except for scouting and barbarian killing) and spearmen, and almost never get to use swordsmen either. Is there a mod I could install?
 
You could download a mod if you dont bother to change rules yourself. Try Rise and Rule or the other mods. In RaR you can have a game of 900 turns.

I agree, RaR should do nicely. Also look at Rhye's mod, which has slower tech growth for a variety of reasons and tends to be a shorter game (400 turns).

Also, first make sure that you have the latest patch for your game. The earlier patches has much faster tech pace, especially on higher levels.

When you start a new game, make sure that the "accelerated production" option is NOT checked. This option will make techs twice as cheap to research.
 
Higher difficulty, larger map, fewer Civs, 80% water archipelago (so AI Civs don't meet each other so early) should slow the game down for you.

Haven't tried RaR.
