Cheat!

[stormerne]

Anyone had anything like this happen before?

I was in the middle of playing Game Of The Month #4 and I launched a diplo-storm in the direction of a particular rival Civ. I decided the best thing to do was to send two diplomats to each city, the first to steal technology and the second to incite a revolt. The idea behind this was to get two techs from each city (as you get a choice of techs when you capture it).

I found that every time I captured a city, the list of techs that I could capture included the one I'd already stolen!!!

Cheat!

It happily took my first dip in exchange for a random tech but then it stole it back!

Is this a bug? Or just the AI cheating?

Nope. Never seen that before.

I've never had that happen to me, must be a bug.

Yeah.....

I remember having experienced smth similar.

It happened when another civ gave me an advance or when we made an exchange.....

I gave mine and the one the opponent gave me was on my list on the next turn....

If it's a bug, maybe it's version related.
I have 2.7.8 (= Fantastic Worlds).
What do you guys have?

Hmm...that hasn`t happened to me, but a similar (related?) "bug" has worked in my favor. Perhaps this has already been discussed before...but, anyway, a few days ago I was playing and traded techs like 3 times in one conversation, which bumped their attitude up to enthusiastic. I proposed an alliance, and they agreed if I gave them a tech, which happened to be one I just traded to them. So, I easily accepted the alliance.

(Not that it mattered, considering that after I was attacked a few turns later they just cancelled the alliance.)

this has already been discussed in an older thread...

I'll try to find the link.........
