this may seem strange but has anyone discovered a problem with the 1.1 beta patch?

It seems that regardless of what I offer, no civ is willing to trade with me any tech along the miniturization branch. Advanced, Enhanced, etc. no one will trade with me, and this is using around 8 other techs (Plasma weapons, Planetary invasion, INterstellar Govt etc) and ALL my money, (around 12k)

is this a bug or are the AI just being picky?

Hmm I'll check into it. I know the AI is more picky about logistics, it will trade but you have to give it a buttload in order to make the trade.

i am almost certain that i remember making a trade for advanced mini. i had been trying to trade for it over a number of turns. i wish i could remember what i had to trade. i know it was alot.

normally I'd just put it down to races wanting to be picky and holding onto it in the same way I am with Medium Sized Hulls and Adv Logistics but the feeling I was getting was it was beyond that

i am in a game right now and received expert mini and 450bc for warp drive, mass drive II, and planet invasion. i was warm with the race, and had 105 diplo bonus to their 47. i suggest increase your diplomacy and be friendlier.

my Influence is really high atm, the only thing it can be is my relations but I've tried it with races I'm rather well in with and it's the same. So I brought the :hammer: to their insolent asses and got them it that way :)

I can't speak to that. I didn't code the diplomacy AI element of the game but I've started touching it with today's new update.

I do know that certain techs are considered absolutely critical and hence very very VERY expensive to get such as advanced logistics, miniaturization and a couple of others.

Thanks Draginol, was just about to ask also

btw nice game
