If someone could do this one little thing for me, it would be much appreciated.

I'm lost when it comes to modding, and most of the time I just go with whatever mods I can find, but I can't find a mod that does this one particular thing. All I want is for the time it takes to discover techs to be double that of Marathon, but everything else (units, buildings, wonders, ect.) to take the same time as they do on Marathon. I wouldn't think that it would take that long to do and if someone could just make that one little modification for me I'd be really happy.

Either that or explain how to do it myself in the simpliest possible terms.

And if this is the wrong forum, sorry. I didn't know where else to put it.

Here you go. It took longer to find the file then to change it.

If you need to adjust the reseach time again, just change the number in the <iResearchPercent>600</iResearchPercent> tag. A bigger number means a longer research, while a lower number will mean a quicker research.

You can just put this file in the BTS Custom Assets -> xml -> gameinfo folder.

Thanks a lot man. I didn't think it would take much, but when you don't know how to mod it's quite a obstacle.

Now here's a stupid question... Where do I extract it? The XML folder -> Technologies folder?

It'd be best to put the file into the custom assets folders, there's a shortcut to it in the main BTS directory. Doing that the game will read the changes to the file without you altering the origional file, so you'll have a backup.

So, after opening the custom assets folder, open the xml folder, and then the gameinfo folder. That's where the xml file I gave you should go.

Thanks again.
