Research Question
 
Im trying to find the file I need, so that I can adjust the research points some. When you change the factor of research level to high to make the research points cost more is the file I need. I want to increase the value so that techs take longer to research. Does anyone know which file it is? I cant seem to find it.

If you want to change how many research points it costs to research an area, it's the TechArea.txt file. Change the "Level Cost :=" number.

Be careful though because this value gets factored by the level so making it too high can make higer levels of a tech area very expensive.

From what I remember;
"low research cost" means a linear cost increase:
10k, 20k, 30k, 40k

"High research cost" means an n^2 increase:
10k, 40k, 90k

I think maybe medium went n^1.5

Medium is (n^2)/2.

Ok, I found the thread. I was not exactly right in how I remembered it.

Low is LC x TL

Medium is LC x ((TL^2)/2)

High is LC x TL^2
