Researching

   A possibility that this question has already been answered, but I am unable to find it so I will go ahead and ask.

When researching there is a cost column and a time column.  The cost I understand, although the time it says it takes to research this technology seldom matches up with the actual time it is taking to complete.  Is there something that I am overlooking, if so i would be appreciative if someone could offer me some assistance.

Thank you,

Justin

	Hi Justin, I think you might be referring to the time displayed when you have multiple research items ongoing at any one time. It's a queue - so the second item only starts when item 1 is finished. If I start one research called xxxxx that will take one hour, then the Research In Progress will say: xxxxx 1h If, 5 minutes later I start another research called yyyyy that will take 35 minutes, then the Research In Progress bar will say: xxxxx 55m yyyyy 1h 30m I totally accept that we could display this better - you're not the first, nor will you be the last to find it confusing! Hope that answers your question. Best wishes, GM Stormcrow Edited by GM Stormcrow - 25 Mar 2010 at 08:21
