[Freeciv-Dev] Re: (PR#10091) Game balance adjustment

["Per I. Mathisen" <per@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

<URL: http://rt.freeciv.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=10091 >

I split out the whale issue into its own ticket, and here is a patch that
only changes researchcost and science bonuses for buildings. No government
changes. I think it will be easier to do this stepwise, one change at a
time.

So (to repeat) what is changed by this patch?
- Library gives 100% increase to science (instead of 50%)
- University gives 150% increase to science (instead of 50%)
- Research Lab gives 100% increase to science for each of Library and
  University (instead of 50% for Library), and requires University
  (instead of Library)
- SETI gives 100% increased science production in each city with a
  Research Lab (instead of free Research Lab).
- Copernicus gives 100% increased science (instead of 50%)
- Newton's now increases efficiency of University by 100 (instead of
  increasing science in city by 100%)
- Researchcost is set to 20 by default, and set to 10 in civ1.serv and
  civ2.serv

Fixed a bug in previous version of the patch with SETI.
