Issue: Any bonus which should reduce the production costs of units or buildings on Slow or Endless game speeds are calculated improperly and end up INCREASING the production costs.



In my save game (Endless Game Speed), do the following to reproduce:



1) Look at the cost to produce a settler in my city. It should be 260.

2) Select the Empire Plan (military) which is supposed to give a 20% Unit Production Cost Reduction bonus.

3) Hit End Turn.

4) Look at the cost to produce a settler in my city. It will be 286 which is an INCREASE in cost of 10% instead of 208 which would be the correct value for a decrease of 20%.



That's it. Note that this is true for ANY bonus from any source which should reduce either Unit Production Cost or Building Production Cost, and it happens on Slow and Endless speeds.

Thanks for the report!
