So you click it and figure out what I mean.
ASM... I also have had trouble often achieving good science, but I know some people can so I don't know if I'm just not good enough... I don't think it should be longer, though. It's already a pretty long game and at least in Civ II you can choose to continue playing after it ends. Perhaps in easier difficulty levels speed up advances time more and generally make scientific progress easier to achieve... but I know people who are good enough at focusing on it can succeed at scientific victories. Though it is definitely harder than military. Myself, I've generally found my best tech levels have been when I'm conquoring the world in Civ II and am getting one civ advance per city I capture from my somewhat-more-advanced neighbors... :)
