I dont want to argue about teh numbers. The code principle makes
absolutely sense. It will make it far more easy to add further options
in game which take tiem and money and have XP as side effect.

I mean: instead of defining: this research yields X XP and this
building/fabrication Y, use a general formular and take races ability as
XP enhancer/decreaser into account just like Carnaugh proposes it.
