As another mentioned, this just slows yours and not the ai. Was using vox at the time, that may be why.

A good idea would be to make age slow down it's counting by 30% too. If that is possible. I noticed medieval era mod manages to slow down age count

Oh hi! Cheers man!
I just read abezikrachid's comment.

It slows for everyone.

The AI starts the game with some bonus techs (this is normal default behaviour, not related to the mod), so it might give the impression that they are not slowed.

It should work with Vox Populi but not completely sure.
Guvenoren 9 Jul, 2022 @ 8:17am 
Wait, what? Ot only slows for the player. What about AI then??
Guvenoren 28 Apr, 2022 @ 6:30pm 
Works for Vox Pupuli?

This mod only slows down your own research. and not of the other civs

Hello, my steam workshop is buggy, is it possible to download this mod outside of steam ?
DeletedTaters 5 Sep, 2016 @ 9:55pm 
I'm subbed to the 30%, 160%, and 300%. i can not get them to download. Any ideas, tips, or suggestions? Thanks all!

Great mod - THX

@Hashtag Dbag no they would not i presume, i doubt that they'd compound onto one another if thats what you're implying.

@Huggles ` Yeah it shouldn't be crashing your game, it's a very small, not to0 extensive only a couple of lines of XML possibly SQL depending on what route he took.

Crashes my game regularly for some reason when used.
No other mods in play.

For those who've been asking for a slower version but not as extreme as the other versions, it's a very simple mod. Just edit the XML file and you'll see that research speed is just a number, and you adjust it to the speed you want. For example, I set standard speed to be 175 (75% slower), applying similar changes to the other settings to get something closer to what I was hoping for.

Had a few of these downloaded, but unsubscribed while waiting for the author and test players to confirm all bugs have been squashed.

Hello. Thanks for the mod.
But could I also tweak myself costs of wonders and buldings corresponding to science slowdown? I mean, i still want units to cost as intended, but make buildings and wonders cost increase +30% too?
cape 6 Sep, 2014 @ 10:11am 
just to be sure. This mod reduces everyones research speed not just mine? I am just asking as no AI player has fewer techs than me (though things are certainly not going well this game for me)...
Asmund 3 Sep, 2014 @ 12:15pm 
Would all three, 30%, 160%, and 300% work together?

Hello there Ellye - I enjoy this mod very much. I know it's annoying when people make requests but if you can manage to make a version of this that is around 50% or 60% that would be perfect. If you don't feel like doing so then I was wondering what value I would change within your mod to do so.

Thanks again for this excellent mod.
The Lazy Procrastinator 11 Aug, 2014 @ 8:04am 
Could you try to make a FASTER version, instead of slower as well? THanks!
Ellye  [author] 13 Mar, 2014 @ 2:39pm 
In Civ 5, you can't get achievements with mods.
DrwHem 13 Mar, 2014 @ 8:49am 
does this effect achievements?
Calcifer 24 Jul, 2013 @ 9:42am 
Wonderful Idea, however I have to agree with James009 - 60% would be slightly better.
Maybe I can subscribe this mod twice to get 60% :D
James009 24 Jul, 2013 @ 3:53am 
Could you do something in between 30% and 16%... maybe like 50-75% reduction in speed? I feel like 30% is too lite while 160% is pretty extreme. Also, does it effect espionage speeds? Thanks.
Andross 1 Dec, 2012 @ 5:03pm 
Thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for, I wanted the feeling of a slower game speed's tech rate but without the production loss etc etc.
Ellye  [author] 3 Nov, 2012 @ 5:39pm 
Done. I couldn't properly test it yet, but it should (hopefuly) work without any issue:

I also would like a version that slows down research even more. Such as double or triple the amount of beakers required.
Ellye  [author] 10 Aug, 2012 @ 2:56pm 
Perhaps a version that slows it even more would be nice for use together with that kind of mod?
Kepos 10 Aug, 2012 @ 9:02am 
I'll give a try...testing if it works together with stopping research at mediaval area...what could give impressing matches.
Ellye  [author] 9 Aug, 2012 @ 8:34am 
Yes, it affects both human players and the AI.
_dafn_ 9 Aug, 2012 @ 4:27am 
does this affect the AI?
