Q for the The Research bonus again again

[SvenBent]

So as i gather you get a doubled up bonus added to you your reasearch per turn up to 7.5% of you currenny invsted RP or max of what you put in this turn. aka the importnace of always adidng in those 7.5% to triple you ressearch investment

however does those 7.5% beeing calcualted on what YOU put in or what (YUO + bonus) are putted into it

eksample
1st turn you put in 1000
2nd turn you put in 7.5% of 1000 which i 75rp
3rd turn do you put in 7.5 of 1075 ( total of what you personally put in) or 7.5% of 1225 ( what you put in including the bonus)?

[Psillycyber]

I'm pretty sure that, on the third turn, you would want to put in 7.5% of 1225 to get the full bonus. I think the game no longer keeps track of "base research points" and "bonus research points" after they get lumped together into the total each round.

TY for the info both of you.

I'm not using kyrub's patch cause I haven't gone through it all to see if its still the "vanilla game"
I'm a bit weird with 3rd party patches and mods as i prefer to "Complete" the game as it was designed otherwise it opens op fr gray zones of cheating.

So only fan patches tha fixes dire mistakes ( like the cpu patch for civ2) are ok for me but no anything that changes the actual gameplay/challenge

Wait...wait...what? What research bonus? I never heard of anything like this. How does it work?

I didnt kow anything about it befoer hitting this forum either lol

Every turn you get a bonus to your research.
The bonus will triple up to 7.5% of your total investment or 100% of your current input whichever is the smallest

so if you pile in a big hunck of ressearch when you start a new tech you can just keep feeding in 7.5% of that and get an additional 15% research

aka

1st turn
putting in 1000 RP in BLAHBLACH

2nd turn
total 1000 so far
putting in 75rp this turn

3rd turn
1000 + 7.5% + 15% bonus from turn 2 = 1225 RP invester so far
putting in 92rp (7.5%) this turn

4th turn
1225 + 92 + 92x2 = 1501 invest so f


so over 3 tursn you have put in 1000 + 75 + 92 = 1167 but inclduing the bonus you get 1501

also if you stop research entirely for one turn you loose 10% of your invested RP into that technology

so always put a little driple into research no matter what you do and try to start any research with a huge boost.
