Too advanced??

subanark · Nov 06, 2005, 02:05 PM

I was playing a large epic game on Oasis, and somehow despite the fact that noone would trade with me because I was "too advanced" Gandhi was able to get every tech I had and 8 others. Despite being my best friend he wouldn't trade any of them (even the two that all other civs had) because I was too advanced. Also every time I discovered a tech I found he must have reasearched at the same time I did or something

. Despite being second (I barely had a score lead over him) he never build a single spaceship part.

How did the others look tech-wise?

Most of the other civs were missing 5 techs I had, while they had 2 techs I didn't (Didn't bother to get them at all). So yes it is possible that the AI thought I was "advanced" (even though Gandhi was ivory tower). Though its quite fustrating

when none of the civs will trade a tech that everyone but I know, I couldn't get it from them even when I demanded peace, and could have squished them easily.

It seems that every game I play Gandhi is either a push over or dominating (same with civ 3).

The Internet actually, and I'm pretty sure it's a World Project - only one civ can build it.

That's right. Only one civ can build it. It has nifty effects though.

You hit the trade caps. Obviously Gandhi wasn't friendly with you, or he'd have been willing to trade techs (it bypasses the trade cap). Otherwise you only get a fixed amount of trades known to the AI before it won't trade w/ you anymore, though there's a small chance they forget a trade each turn (aka more skewing in favor of slow speeds).
