So I am playing on Huge map with like 18 civs. When you have open borders with someone, you both get Tech Transfer bonus.
What I have noticed myself doing is that I try to make open borders with a civilization that has researched a tech I want to research. And after I've gotten the new tech, I cancel open borders with them. And I keep repeating this pattern a lot with different civs.
My question is: Do I keep losing something when I am "min-maxing" with Tech Transfer? Would I get better relationships with a civ if I had open borders with them continuously instead of cancelling open borders from time to time?
I feel that in a such big map, I tend to min-max - and I don't like it. It kind of "kills" the immersion of such a great mod for me. Yes, I could stop doing it and roleplay it better (like keeping open borders with civs that are pleased with me and with whom I want to keep having good relations) but I was just wondering its mechanics. And I am kind of thinking what's the best tech setting in a such big world with so many civs? Tech Trading instead? Or just disable both Tech Trading and Tech Transfer?
Would like to hear some opinions about this - looking for best possible settings.
