The editor is not available yet to Mac users, so where can we find out what the basic cost or research is?

I did some more experimenting in the same game, and it appears that the cost is approximately 54/64 of normal if 1 other civ I know has the tech, 44/64 for 2 other civs, and 35/64 for 3. Since this was on a Tiny map (to avoid hitting the minimum reseach rate and make the tech costs small and easy to calculate in the beginning), there are no other civs to find, but I'm sure someone could figure out the rest using another game or a mod. Maybe I'll even get around to it myself.

Does anyone know if the relative decrease depends on the map size or the number of civs in the game?
