Question About 1.21

[Dralix]

I've read lots of posts about the AI tech research rate and trading being toned down in 1.21, but I haven't seen it in the game I'm playing. I'm playing a game I started in 1.17. Is that why? Do I need to start a new game to take full advantage of the patch?

Thanks

The tech trading changed for me when I loaded up a saved 1.17f game; don't know why it didn't change for you. If your CIV3MOD.BIC file didn't get changed, the tech trading wouldn't change, either.

It WILL be different in your next game!

For corruption and other editor changes I think you do need to start a new game.

I don't know about tech trading, though, since I timed my game to start fresh with the new patch. I can tell you that I seem to notice a difference. The AI isn't hopelessly ahead of me and I've been offered some pretty decent deals for tech, so I think it's better overall. But that is with a new game.
