Why does educating colonist takes longer as you have many students
The 1st students I have 9 turns to graduate the next batch have 18 then double

Because that's how the designers decided it would work.

Just another example of a deviation from the way it was in the original game that has made this rendition of Colonization the failure that it is.

Greybriar, stick around I think the game's saviour is on the horizon.

I certainly hope you're right.

Yeah, this aspect of vanilla and AoD II 1.06 bothers me more then just about anything else in the game (And AoD II is awesome, and I know Dale is working to fix this in 1.07!) It doesn't make sense and punishes the slower, more deliberate player. This, and the ability to add previously passed on founding fathers to the colony are the 2 things I would change if I could mod the game.
