Default Re: Cost per research point calculator

How is maintenance cost calculated ?
In the game it's surely rounded (up or down) somewhere, to have entire figures. I've heard that it was done on a per unit basis, so that can really change the values on the long run (50-100 turns).
Anyone has the formula ? IW only ?
hmmm... all I can say to this is what Graeme Dice said a few Posts ago:

Of course, whatever method is actually used in-game is what should go into the calculator. Does anyone know for sure?

Also, I am still hoping that someone could clarify whether or not a unit gains experience for researching (in addition to the 1xp/turn that every unit apparently gets).
