[NOT BUG] AI can offer research agreements without player having Philosophy

[spiffamoo]

Had a game as Bismarck where was I going for a quick rush against Siam. Arabia and Ottomansboth offered research agreements, which I accepted. Later on I found out that I did not have philosophy, which was, in fact one of the tech I got out of the agreements.

Sadly I don't have any save file to confirm this.

No - only one player of the two needs philosophy. If the AI has it, then that's enough.

Are you sure? I wasn't able to offer a research agreement to China, though I had Philosophy, and the explanation was "both players have to have Philosophy for a research agreement to be possible."

I think they changed it. I too, saw that when I played on 1.0.0.17. That's why I reported this as a bug.

However, with 1.0.0.20, it appears that I can initiate a trade as long as I have Philosophy. Just tried a settler game where I beelined for it. So I guess its working as intended now.
