I noticed my research breakdown included -50% for something called "Civilization Ability." I had my research game setting at "Very Slow" for pacing. I like the long, slow game. Anyway, I checked with "Slow" and it changed to -25%. No problem. I assumed this was where my game options for this particular choice were reflected. My question is this: If it's referred to as "Civilization Ability," am I making the choice for the entire game, including opponents...or am I simply slowing down my civ?
