Another thing which im not sure if that might be a bug is with the radical R&D research. I got a CTO with a research base of 100.
I for example research with a 200% tech gain but the duration from six months to two years has no difference in tech advancement (I would assume the six months period would give you a smaller advancement than the two years one). So its very easy to dominate technology that way when you research doubles every six months. I got up to ridiculous numbers in the hundred thousands that way very easy.
