I think this should be the case for tech cost style 2 as well, i.e. the 
preset costs in the ruleset should still be given in units of 
game.researchcost, so that research speed can still be adjusted globally.  
If this is the case, then style 1 would be just a special case for style 2 
as Per pointed out.
