Err. Ain't that simply impossible? 70 nations x 5 spells takes 350 spell slots, over the limit by about 220 spells. Only way I could see this happen would be to make a different version of the mod for each era and save spell slots by overwriting nationals from other eras.

But is this all trickery really so necessary? I mean we're playing (mostly) against humans? You could just say that you can only have 3 researcher units, if someone cheats, you could easily tell it from the research graph.
