In my last game I conquered the Great Library.
The map contains 2 large continens. One of them is mine (my Immortals ran over 3 other civs) and one of equal size is occupied by 4 more civs. My score is more than theirs together.
A few turns after I conquered my continent, the tech advisor reported "construction obtained from Japan and Babylon". Strange for two reasons:
1. I conquered their last cities a few turns ago.
2. I already had construction researched
And that was the only tech I ever got. Because I had the Great Library, I decided to head for Military Tradition and win by domination. Sooner or later Education would pop up anyway. Why research it ?
30 turns later. when I was about to get Metalurgy, I established contact with the other continent. To my surprise they already had researched Monotheism, Monarchy and alike but I never got those techs via the Great Library. Maybe the Great Lib only works for ancient techs but Monarchy is an ancient tech and I even didn't get it when I established contact and embassies.
The Lib seems to work after being conquered as I sort of got one tech for free.
