AI Don't Need To Research Deception?

[IdioticUlt1mara]

Ok so a couple of times now I have noticed that the Diety AI do not have to research Deception in order to get techs that require it e.g. Oral Tradition/Tracking etc. There are a couple of examples in almost all of my Let's Plays however I can showcase a couple SS now for proof. Pay close attention to the date

I do not know if this is due to Diety AI already having cooperation pre-researched or what but I definitely have noticed this a number of times

Since Cooperation is on there, Deception should be added to that list as well. I had not considered this when adding a tech so close to the front of the tree.

By getting Cooperation Free the tech Deception is a prereq for it so it too is Free by default is it not?

Nope; or, at least I wouldn't think so.

No, but the techs that come after wouldn't require it because cooperation is fulfilling the prereq.

 

[IdioticUlt1mara]

This makes a lot more sense. But yeah you should probably give them Deception as well less confoosing that way lol
