Whooah, slow down those techs!

[thomson_2001]

Its annoying i have to go and mod all my techs so it takes longer to research things. Youve just got a new unit, u build loads of them, then along comes a better one and you have to update them all...normally b4 you get a chance to use them for a while.The game is much more enjoyable when time is spent on each of the many eras (basically there is:- primitive, classic, medieval, early naval,napoleonic, early industrial, WW1 and 2 then modern). ! An example of units becoming too quickly availible is the time it takes you to get frigates (can finally move over oceans!)....then soon after, you get ironclads and the frigates are useless (the naval age is an exciting one as there were many real life battles at sea that were very important - in the game these are skipped out due to the rapid gaining of ironclads).The same goes with paratroopers and many other units. Anybody think the same?

I modded most everything and said months ago Firaxis' values (most of them) are stupid. So this is not a new problem. (See Completed Mods forum).

You BET it's annoying.

But at least I could import my modded values back in after I installed 1.29.

Pardon my stupidity, but, this means that you can turn a non-1.29f bic into a 1.29 compatible bic by using import and then saving the bic, maybe with a new name? Does this mean you could then use that bic to play old saves with 1.29 values/rules?

You don't have to do it for each of the techs... you just need to adjust the global tech percentage, per world size... it's in the bic file, under the World Sizes patch.
I adjusted to 160-240-320-400-480 and it worked fine.

I want less years taken per turn, maybe make months toward modern age, and slow science rate. The ships alsop need some speed.
