Stealing techs

[tR1cKy]

It's not until recently, when i moved to max difficulty levels, that i dealt with tech stealing. I've noted an interesting fact: if the mission succeds, you are normally allowed to pick one tech from the enemy. But if you choose the tech you're researching on, and have already spent at least a beaker on it, you are prompted to choose a second tech to steal (assuming they have it, of course).
Can someone confirm this? I'm not sure if this behavior of the game is caused by my endless tampering with the rules in civ3mod.bic - i'm playing Vanilla with the latest patch.

IIRC, this happened only on vanilla civ but I`m not very sure if you can do it again using the latest patch. I haven`t playing any vanilla game since the coming of PTW.

it has not worked for me on the conquest with the patchs installed but it may still work on vanilla civ even without the tampering. I don't know about the "Rise and Rule" mod that was just reseased for conquests but with the hundreds of techs it has i hope you can choose more than one.

I believe RaR decreased the cost of Steal Tech.

 

[Tearor]

it did but thats because of the amount needed in order to steal the same amount of tech in percent. with more tech the cost of each should be lower. the cost still varies though and it is still expensive.

You can. I use the patched vanilla (1.29f)

you should still upgrade to conquests "rise and rule". the 120mb is worth it.

Once i'll get conquests, i'll give it a try. It's not easy to find games in english here. You have to order them, then wait, wait, and wait...
