Slowing Down Advancements

[j8h9]

there is a parm in rules.txt about the speed of advancements. I want to slow slow down advancements and time... every turn is 20 years? How can I slow this down more? What's the max I can slow down advancements?

Research can be slowed a few ways with game play:

-- choose an inferior government
-- toggle the science rate down
-- place your citizens on spaces without arrows
-- don't trade.

Late in the game, every turn is only one year.

You may want to check the Scenario Creation forum for some "how to" suggestions if you want to develop a scenario.

Thanks for your response but I mean slow down science advancement for all players in the game--not just me. I want advancements to come slower...

I think what you're looking for is the tech paradigm. Of course, I haven't fiddled with that part of the rules.txt in a long time, so I can't remember if a higher number makes it go faster or slower...

EDIT: Just checked, and a higher number makes it go slower. 10 is default. However, I don't know the max.

IIRC The tech paradigm works only if you change it in Scenario menu. It is not sufficient to edit rules.txt.
