Hello

Enjoying the game a lot so far.

On these types of games I always like to play at the slowest speeds possible, and when creating a new game on ES I could choose slow, normal, or fast.

But I noticed, playing on slow speed, that before even having too many systems (3) I was researching at what I would consider a little too quickly, and I haven't even been focusing on improving my science output quite yet.

Made it halfway through the colonization and expansion tree, and don't feel like I've been playing really all that long, at least compared to other 4x games.



Anyways this is only alpha but I thought I'd at least put this out there; some people, like me, might like a 'very slow' speed added when creating a new game, personally I like it as slow as possible.

i found that on my games the population drops to 1 while building the food exploit this is so far on the second to fourth turn despite with a okay tax level with horatios and sophons which is weird. this would be on slow.



only ones that seem unnafected would be the hissho. aside from that some of the higher tier tech is easy to get depending on the population and proper science gaining tech. they will end up tweaking it somehow.

A very slow speed would be nice for the occasions when you just want to spend a long time optimizing your systems and such. Though I wonder if there is a problem with the Colonization and Expansion tree at all. It starts off somewhat smaller than the other trees to begin with and if you focus down it it is supposed to be quick to research because that is where the colonization techs are!
