I am starting to think research % only alters player, because if it does everyone then it means there is no way to alter just the AI.
No... and no... we have already done some test of this... The research modifier is affecting everything in the game. . .
Yes, and yes.
The universal research rate modifier (a game setting) affects every empire in that game. The Racial research modifier affects all empires of that race, and the empire specific research modifier (which is default set by government type) affects only that empire. This last largely only affects starting research facilities per 100m population.
I said that the UNIVERSAL setting DID effect everyone.... no one asked about the racial setting... they asked about the DIFFICULTY setting which effect ALL NPR.
