Great Mod, and great approach to making it.
But sadly there is a huge problem (the reason why we don't use the mod currently):
My friends and i tried to play it, but were very disappointed because we constantly got out of sync. It seems to happen everytime somebody finishes researching a technology for which he gets the Open-Borders-Bonus.
And as this will probably be the mod i will usually play once you have fixed this, i will ask you for another feature here :
Could you implement the possibility to change the Culture-/Science-Rates in smaller steps as 10% ? I often found i would like to set my Culture-Budget to about 25% and alternating between 30% and 20% is a rather annoying workaround.
Shoot,, I was a little concerned about that happening with the open borders but thought I had avoided using the functions which commonly cause that problem. I'll rexamine it but give me some more info if you can because its a little harder for me to test out unless i got someone else online i can mess around with:
1) Were you playing simotanenous turns or standard?
2) As you notice with the open borders bonus you receive your regular tech points and then the bonus. So if you're watching the tech bar you'll see it increase twice very quickly. If you can remember or if you have the game saved do you know at what point the out of sync error occurred? During the first tech gain at the end of turn (hence your normal research points) or the second one (the bonus points from open borders)?
Thanks for pointing this issue out.. Those will help me track down the problem.
EDIT: Im rewriting how the OpenTech mod bonus works right now. To simplify things the bonus will instead grant a free building in all your cities that gives a +100% research bonus. This will accomplish pretty much the same thing though the bonus will be slightly less than 100% in some cities because of how the additive way % increases to research work. I'll fix this by maybe adding more bonuses at higher levels like after scientific method or something.
