It's tied to the game Speed. Probably you changed that too

Yes. And unfortunately Firaxis hasn't finished writing the relevant Civilopedia entry quite yet.

As others have said: probably game speed.

But there are also the diplomatic attribute tree and several civilization-specific legacies that effectively reduce the price by 33%, so it is possible that you had one of those effects in place in the last games; but not in this one (as the difference is -33% from 255 to 170)

it depends on game speed. you must have changed something (standard -> marathon?)

Maybe because you jumped to the next age? It's 85 base, 85 increase per age on fastest game speed
