Hello,
I know this is wrelly late, but I would like to see this in the game)
One thing about CivII that was anoying is the compairing of research tree.
I suggest that when one has an embassy and wants to look what they can, the research would be in tree categories.
-What we both can/know
-What we can, but they don't
-What we cann't, but they can
This way it would be easy to compare.
Furthermore if a saw that for example PK have thechnology X, that I really would want to have and they are missing A nad B wich I have. I could suggest a trade with X for A + 50 energy units. (B is so good I will not give them.) If PK would know I have B and would deny to give B for X, it could lead to an interesting future between us.
Any more ideas?
P.S. Forgive the typos. Hangover is the worst punisment today

Hmmmn .. I also never got to figure out if ... when you traded technologies in CIV2, and you received a tech that you didn't have the prerequisites for, did you get the prerequisites by default ???

NO as far as I know.
(I might be wrong, but I don't think so)

No. IMO it was a major bug that a civ could gain and use a tech without the prerequisites. A stone age civ steals flight and builds airplanes, pretty annoying.

Big time !!! I'm guessing those are the little bugs that should make a big difference between CIV & SMAC !!!

I really hope so. IIRC, they could build stealth fighters just by having stealth, without inventing or getting flight first. Maybe I'm just a realism fanatic, but for me, it really could spoil the end game.

I agree, it seams to me I found a few little bugs like that in CIV !!! I wish I could remember them now !!! But all in all, it wass still a great game !!!
