Thanks -probably not your fault atall, I am not very good at getting points over when typing, and I am often misunderstood (probably because I type so slowly and it doesn't flow properly)!
When this thread was started we were just summising about what we thought would happen from the patch info given. We were all under the assumption that the Great Library would be nerfed. Once it came to light that the GL does still give you a free tech and a Library, the path is even more clear and as long as we get the GL no matter what level we play at we should achieve our goal. If you play the way I do (small empire), then gold is a premium and I hate to see it wasted by AIs deciding they want to go to war and waste an RA.
I think one of the reasons it is happening to me at least, is because all my attentions are going towards building the PT, and I am not building an army! I could hold back on early Ras and buy a small army, maybe this would be the answer?
