Soyweiser,

Are you playing with a mod or something? In vanilla Dom3, +2 to research costs 120 points (Magic-3). Rabelais was asking why anyone would pay 80 points for Magic-2 (+1 research) when they could just pay 40 points for Magic-1 (also +1 research) instead.

-120 points: -2 research
-80 points: -1 research
-40 points: -1 research [nobody takes this]
0 points: +0 research
40 points: +1 research
80 points: +1 research [nobody takes this either]
120 points: +2 research

Some people (including me, currently) increase the bonus/malus to +/- 1 per point of Magic.

-Max
