Cost per research point calculator

[Minrhael]

As the exact question I was coming to find out was bard vs sidhe champ in upkeep, thanks for the very timely table!

As an additional question though, how does the game calculate those percentages of an upkeep. i.e. on magic 3 a bard is 1.25, sidhe is 1.33. Is there any effective difference between them or do they just get counted as 1 each turn or 2 each turn or does it actually charge the extra gold every 4 turns for bard and 3 for sidhe?

This table also makes me cry As my beloved Tuatha I'm required to take a magic scale and I get the 47th best researcher? bah! Some "magical theme" we are. Bards were teachers and history keepers etc weren't they? (or am I just messed up through too many different books!) Give em a 1 point research bonus!
