Longer research

[synseer.]

hey there fellow civvers was wondering if there was a scenerio or mod that could increase the time taken to research a tech

when u reach the medieval age your researching a tech nearly every 5 turns in you have librarys merketplaces and whatnot, of course i could increase the difficulty level but i want to computer to also suffer the same effect, because soon as you build an army off units before you know it there obsolete because some beter more powerfull unit has come along, especially by the time you get to medieval age, by the time you start building medievals you've hit cavalry, same with pikes and muskets i dont feel units have a long enough lifespan,

It is not that hard to change research costs in the editor. I think you need to change each tech individually though, so it might be a bit tedious. There might be a better way.

You can check the downloads section to look for relevant mods.

that and increase maximum research time from the general settings...

Perhaps you should try building more knights instead of medieval infantry since you can upgrade them to cavalry. This works even better if you already have horsemen being upgraded into knights.

For defencive units I really do not see the problem as they upgade all the way from spearmen to mobile infantry, as long as you have the gold they will never be obsolete.

yea thats the problem, before you have time to enjoy the age your in,,,,,,your in the next age,,,, i can get all the way to indus era easily in 5 hours if am not micromanaging and just producing military units and waring. but you dont really have enough time to fully use a unit, you mass stack them only to upgrade them before you go to war medieval and industrial are my favourite eras and i'd like to spend alot more time in them have mass wars with infantrys and artillerys by the time you get infantry, and start building them 10 turns later Tanks are on the scene. and thats to soon

also am a civeditor noob, i dont know the first thing when it comes to the editor

How about this:
1. Run the editor
2. Go to file Open
3. Select conquests.biq - This will load the scenario.
4. Save it with another name in the scenario directory. Example: SynseerTest - This is very important because you don't want to over write the original file.
5. Go to Rules in the editor and select Edit Rules. This will bring up a box with tabs at the top.
6. Select the General settings tab.
7. Near the lower left corner is a box labeled Technology.
8. Try increasing the minimum research time.
9. close the Rules window.
10. Save again

And you are Done.

(Edit) If you don't have Conquests you will have to figure out which file to use. For Vanilla Civ3 it ends in .bic For PTW it ends in .bix
