How do I stop Tech research?

[Gdawg007]

Or at least slow it to the point that I can make a scenario that won't advance technologically but I can still get a high number of turns out of it? Can I simply change the calendar speed to one turn being one week, or did I need to edit the research speed as well? I'm trying to create a medieval scenario and I don't want civs to get to the point where they are researching flight, or something silly like that. Thanks.

Welcome to CFC!
This is the wrong forum. The subforums are only for completed files.

You can just delete all of the later techs. I'm not sure how to change the calendar but I know it's possible.

Whoops, sorry about that.

Thanks for the info.

I would just increase the tech cost.

Just changing the calender would not work. It would still take 5 - 10 Turns for your next discovery, so if you just change the calender, you have suddenly pased the tech tree after just a few month in the game

Just look in the thread modding the aspect of gamespeed.

in the folder

C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Assets\XML\GameInfo

you find this file

...

and if you increase the researchpercent, the research should become slower
