Just a quick question.
How many of you play with Spoils of War (the old civ-style tech-capture rule) on? So far, I've generally left it off, reasoning that it gave all the advantage to my aggressive neighbours, while peaceful me has to do my own work.
On the other hand, since I'm easily whupping everyone in my first game on Librarian, it seems that maybe I should turn it on, it seems Yang and Miriam are near helpless without it.
Thoughts?

I agree. I'ma bout to turn it on also. Both because I'm going to play some of those non-research types, and because I'm whipping them badly on Thinker level. I rarely lose a city. This will encourage me to make it even more rare. But it will make me more careful what techs I give away as it will make it easier for them to fall into the wrong hands.
