This may have been mentioned before, but it's been like over a year since I've played...but why is there a sci cap? How soft is the cap?

Suggestion

No cap.
1) A regular province with no bonuses/revelation/labs gets about 1 sci per day...over 3 months that's 90 sci....that's enough for like 3 maxed thingies. Choosing to run Human, or Sage and keep Revelation 24/7, or pumping labs the whole age - should reward the player!

2) I could see why this may have been an issue before with the existence of Abduct attack...but seems like that has been removed...the cap should drop with it.
