Also a good point (depending on the trade level people would settle for). But remember, I also wanted to give a chance for people to take other special racial traits...and that takes extra research, too.

We can let others comment. Perhaps better to change it to medium cost. Just a thought.

I've been quite busy lately so I found this thread only now. I've intented to cut down my games but this sounds so interesting that I'm in.

I knew you (and some others) were busy and that is why I stated up front that I fully expect the game to take 72 hours between turns when we get into the game good. Thanks for throwing in .

You have my sympathy Asmala, for I made the same tough decision of cranking down my number of games. The results were quite impressive, since I joined (or will join) three more games. *Grumbles*

As for this tech cost Slynky, I would indeed be more in favour of a Medium tech cost. It keeps a non-linear progression (unlike low tech cost), while still being very cheap. (Granted, my single mindedness on research makes all but a few techs very cheap) With such a game, a team might even research a technology such as Radioactives Extraction all the way to level IX! (Nay, that does still seem very unlikely)

I'd also like more medium or even high tech cost.

Have you considered the amount of micromanagement due to different atmospheres? It's quite a lot of work to transfer people about.
