Scaling Research Removed

Description
Overview
This mod was made simply to remove the Scaling research cost for tomes that was added by the Watcher update.

Because of the nature of the changes I made, the base cost of research is 250, which is increased or decreased by the tier of the spell/upgrade being researched (I think. To be honest I'm not 100% sure how the game calulates costs)

This mod makes changes to DEFINITIONS_RESEARCH.RPK so it may conflict with other mods changing the same file.

Other Stuff
I'm not exactly a knowledgeable modder so please feel free to leave suggestions and let me know about bugs you encounter

If by any chance you do not want to use the workshop for mods, I have also released this mod on the Paradox Plaza: Here [mods.paradoxplaza.com]

Wanted to say I am still using this, it seems to work for me and I am greatly appreciative because without it I feel so penalized for liking earlier tier tomes. Makes my order combos much easier to use too.

Thank you very much!

Should still be fine to use, since the latest update hasn't changed anything to do with tome scaling, I'll rebuild it anyway just to be safe

Thanks for your testing!

I have several, I think it has some modifier that changes the cost of research for each level of the spell.

Right now my 3 spells to research are:

A level I spell costing 1755

A level VI costing 1215

A level VIII costing 900

Do you have a tome skill that cost more than 1000 in your play through?

The research cost does increase.

Much lower than previously, but still increases.

The mod works, not exactly like the author intended, but works.

Likely because of some change in the game itself from previous DLC.

I just tried the second tome I both try the tier1 and tier2 tome,and most of them cost the same amount 250.I will do a longer test later ,like trying the 4th or 5th tome and see if it is still the same.
