Also note that when you discover an AI, the beaker cost of your tech goes down if the AI already has that tech. So the earlier you discover the AI, the more beakers you save. This is mostly a factor in deity and immortal where the AI will almost certainly have more tech than you at the start.
What? Are you saying that if an AI civ has a tech that I don't have, that after discovering the AI civ, that/those techs won't cost me as much? Or the tech I'm currently working on... What?
Edit: Ok I just started a new game on Immortal. I kept track of the tech chart and when I meet China, who must have 4 techs more than me, nothing changed in my tech tree.
2nd edit: I've noticed after discovering around 4 ai civs that there is a reduction by 1 on some of the techs.
