Hi FfHers
Am I mistaken, or does the deception tech only grant access to the Trojan horse and the Council of Esus?
Playing the svartalfar the other day, I made a point of nabbing deception first, as I'd planned to put the Council in my main production city and churn out a stream of "bandits" with which to plague my neighbours (all the fun of waging war, with none of the drawbacks of being held accountable. Who said being a backstabbing, two-faced traitor couldn't be fun?). I built the Trojan horse as well, mostly to prevent anyone else getting it.
Now, since I'd bagged both of deception's goodies, and it doesn't lead to anything else, I was quite surprised when my neighbours firstly demanded it for nothing (which I should not have refused, thinking about it), but then came back offering good techs and cash for it. Why? Surely the AI knows what wonders have already been built, so by this point isn't the tech useless?
Maybe this is just a little AI strangeness (i.e. it just perceives the opportunity to beg or buy x beaker's worth of tech).
