[0.75 Bug/Balance] AI insanely fast building/researching

If this is not a bug, it looks way over the top, even counting the AI advantages from game settings. 

Problem: AI faction built a Merchantcross Bazar at turn 27.

Background: Playing with slowest settings for both research and production. Custom AI faction starting with the Scholar trait (+10% research). AI was on Expert level.

Maybe the AI doesn't get affected by research and production settings?

Or it could be the research points bug which allows AI players big bonuses on research points that are traded between AIs.

I forgot that custom faction had also the starting 500 gildar.

Still I tested on my side, with same map settings and faction. On a 4/3+1/2 tile, I got the Bazar up in 60 turns, as reference.

+47 Turns = Researching economics

+29 Turns = Building time

-16 Turns = Rushing with all my savings (795g)
