Changing reseach rate

[Shiva]

Changing the research rate does not seem to lower the amount to time it takes to research an advance.

I founded a town at the start of the game that had 3 income points. Reseaching the warrior code would take 30 turns (this is at the default rate). So I bump the spending to 2 and it still stayes at 30 turns. I bump it up to 3 and its still the same.


If im putting in 3 times the research shouldnt the time have gone down to 10? Later on in the game I see the effects of the sliders but not at the very start.

Anyone getting different?

Yeah, I have exactly the same peoblem, seems like theres no way to research the first item faster than in 32 turns....

Too bad noone else replied... :(

I think the reason is simple: Early on, upping up your investment really represents such a smaller upping that it does later on. I mean, a $1 investment even if tripled only goes to $3. I think that's what's going on.
