NOTE: As this proposal adjusts the default balance assumptions of the mod, this is considered a "MAJOR CHANGE" and as such a supermajority of votes is required for implementation.
Proposal: The advanced options "Enable Research Agreements" and "No Tech Trading" are turned on by default.
SPECIAL: This would also change the default balance assumptions we base the mod on to these new settings.
Rationale: Both research agreements and tech trading serve the purpose of rewarding friendly relations to AI players, but tech trading is quite exploitable. With this change, it will still be possible to play with tech trading on if a player wishes so, but it will be recognized that research agreements and no tech trading are the default options the game should be balanced around.
