Explain Sharing Techs online?

[aronnov]

how does it work? I figured out if you have a tech researched that your friend has researched it takes 1 turn? are they using a formula to get this or is it that simple? your ally has it so you get it 1 turn?

just go to diplomacy and ask to buy or sell techs. From that, you can figure out what they have and haven't got.

It is that simple, aronnov.

If you're playing team game, and your ally researches, for example pottery, and then you go to research technology menu, and choose pottery, it will take you 1 turn to finish, regardless of the tech.
