You were such a skeptic about the enhanced tech conquest changes in PPIO, changes that I made in early PPIO development and never modified again, glad you like it after actually seeing it in-game.

Yeah, it was vanilla code that had been commented out by firaxis before releasing the game, I didn't see any good reasons for why it was disabled, so I enabled it in PPIO.
I can improve upon its design if you have any suggestions or objections. I didn't make any changes to how this mechanic works, I just allowed the original firaxis design to actually happen in-game.
