I want to slow tech without slowing production

[mde25]

I often find that the research goes by too quickly relative to what I'm able to build during a given era. By the time I create sizable armies, it seems they're usually about to become obsolete.

It'd be nice to have an option like 'Game Speed' that prolonged the eras but without impeding production (of units, at least). I like the slow teching on Marathon speed, but the slow production just makes it feel unplayable. (The change in tech speed is proportional to the change in production speed, right? Or am I mistaken about this?)

Anyway, is there a not-too-complicated way to do this? I want to put this into effect for all players, by the way, so simply adjusting the difficulty isn't an option.

Civ4GameSpeedInfo.xml is your file (Assets\XML\GameInfo).

Make sure you have a copy of the original file before messing with this one.

The tag <iResearchPercent> is for how fast technologies are researched (300% in Marathon compared to Normal).

The Modiki (see link on top of Forum) will give you a fair description of what every tag is supposed to do.

If you feel like creating a new Speed, don't forget to update the file CIV4CultureLevelInfo.xml (GameInfo folder of Vanilla XML).
