How does Difficulty affect AI Tech gain rate?

[jcatullus]

Hey all,

I'm planning on increasing all Techs' cost 2-4fold in the editor in order to create a longer gamespan.

Will be playing on Emperor and was wondering if this'll make me fall way behind (because of AI getting free techs every now and then) or the game accounts for each given tech's cost some way?

Thanks

EDIT: figured it out, I just need to edit the "Tech Rate" in the World size section of the editor, it's a % value. Going with 280-300.

You can also simply reset the minimum research time as well.
