Dammit this is so irritating. Now when I reach a point later on in the game, I find I cannot research at optimal speed because I have this artificial constraint placed upon me. Not only do I find it bad for gameplay and it makes the industrial and modern ages go on longer than is necessary (I have very little to do for most of this time, and my cities do nothing but accumulate wealth, while I sit on the computer and click enter, enter, enter to get the turns to go by). By all means up the costs of later techs but this constraint is ridiculous. Not only for you, but the AI as well...it means that when all the major civs hit this barrier, there is no chance of catch-up for anyone short of espionage methods. And ultimately frustrating.
This is my only gripe with the game, and an option to switch it iff should be put in the game.
