I have CivIII 1.17f (mac version) and am having trouble with science. Whatever level of spending I assign to science the rate of research is the same as if I assigned just 1 unit of commerce to it until I build libraries (this is under despotism), ie. a Science rate of 10% is the same as the science rate at 90% (apart from the negative affect on my cash). My smaller and less commerce rich neighbours appear to be able to research much faster (I'm playing at regent level).
Surely this isn't right? Am I missing something obvious, I've tried playing as different countries on a different maps, all to no avail. However big my civ until I build libraries my rate of discoveries is awful.
TIA
