Aeon GameSpeed

New GameSpeed that attempts to extend each era to approximately 200 turns but lowers the cost of training units and constructing buildings (except World Wonders) to allow for more warfare throughout. Inspired by the Extended/Longer Eras mods, this mod attempts to address some of the common issues experienced using those GameSpeeds.

Select "Aeon" under Game Pace in Advanced Setup. You can also copy/overwrite (Aeon GameSpeed mod directory)\AeonGameSpeed\Lua\SelectGameSpeed.lua to (Civ install directory)\Assets\UI\FrontEnd\GameSetup, and then the Aeon GameSpeed option will show up in the main game setup screen.

Compatible with Vanilla, G&K, and BNW.

Recommended additional mods:
- If your games get too crowded with units, try whoward69's 2 Units Per Tile mod: http://www.picknmixmods.com/mods/94c8c20f-588a-41af-ac5d-dbaf5aa8bcd4/mod.html

- My other mod, Ancient Ruins Expanded, was designed specifically for use with this mod. It balances the rewards granted, so at higher difficulties you get additional food instead of population, beakers instead of a free technology, etc. It can be found here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=431922378
