currently the amount of turns it takes for any  beginner to get  a new technology without any bonuses is about 17 to 19 turns, while I understand this amount of time was similer in galciv, you could easily  turn up reseach in the city budget menu here you have no options.

I propose a significant decrees in the amount of turns before a breakthrough..at leaat in thhe beginning of the game , this way the player can get to actually building an armory. however I am uncetain what would be a reasonable decrease and wht would be flat out cheap.

what are the commintys thoughts ?

fyi I enjoy this game  otherwise I would not have gone out to blow almost fifty dollers on knowing the issues that this game had  when first released
