You have my sympathy Asmala, for I made the same tough decision of cranking down my number of games. The results were quite impressive, since I joined (or will join) three more games. *Grumbles*

As for this tech cost Slynky, I would indeed be more in favour of a Medium tech cost. It keeps a non-linear progression (unlike low tech cost), while still being very cheap. (Granted, my single mindedness on research makes all but a few techs very cheap) With such a game, a team might even research a technology such as Radioactives Extraction all the way to level IX! (Nay, that does still seem very unlikely)
