One thing I'm not quite understanding is how exactly does the science research amount that you allocate in the adviser screen impact what is going on as far as science is concerned. Of course I understand the main benefit of civilization advances moving along quicker, the more science you allocate. But I get the feeling from the manual that it is supposed to influence other aspects (concerning science) of the game. Because if it doesn't influence other aspects beyond the main advances of the game, I 've found a simple way of making a lot of money without suffering too much in the advances dept. On my domestic advisor screen, if I slide the science bar to a very minimum amount for a few turns, the money that I get far out weighs any negative aspects as far as advances go. I just do it for a few turns, raise some decent money (I tend to struggle a little in that dept.) and then bring the little test tube back to where it was. I lose maybe 1 or 2 turns (really, just maybe a turn for each turn I do this) to get to the next advance, but I now have plenty of money. I really hope this is not the way it is (a bug, if I'm right - at least as far as I'm concerned) because I never like to use cheats of any kind. I hope I'm wrong. Please, someone reply and tell me I'm missing something really basic here. Thanks very much for reading all of this!
