So are some of the later techs supposed to be easier to research than earlier ones? I expected something like Civ where the next tech is always more costly than the current one. I find that not the case with Land and Naval techs. Sometimes it just takes me two months to research the next level.
 
I am not sure about the cost of each individual tech, but research gets easier for me as the game reaches the 1600s because my overall economy and income is much larger and more developed than at the start. Also, with Naval Equipments manufactories and the like, you get research bonuses, and with random events like reform of the army and navy.
 
The costs go way down for land and naval techs after a certain point. They come so cheap that later economies are able to to get them within a few months or a year at max.

Huszics suspected it was a bug, but no confirmation on it.
