I don't understand... science?
Hi, I've done a few games and I noticed a trend where I usually struggle to keep up with the science of our history, like, i discover the combustion engine in the late 1900s, and my games finishes between 2100 and 2200 with full tech researched, and it feels wrong.
I come from Civilization (3 to 6) and I usually end up with rifles and planes in the late 1800s, not the other way around.
I consciously try to focus my builds on production and then science and try to have all the science buildings in every cities, have multiple science districts in every city/areas, so i can generate as much science points as possible, sign research treaties with allies, and city states and yet it feels like science is not coming as fast as it should be.
Or is it just a quirk of Humankind that science, like era, can be a bit weird in term of sync with the dates of our history?
