v152 Team Starting Techs - Design or Bug?

[MxxPwr]

Did a search. Couldn't seem to find where this was mentioned.

Team Play, Hot seat MP, 4 teams: Human/AI, Human/AI, Human/AI, AI/AI

Observation: Only start out with my teammates civ-specific starting techs. My civ-specific starting techs don't register and have to be researched.

Design or Bug?

Thanks
BTW having an AI teammate is very informative. So, you get a free military unit in each city after researching a military-unit-producing tech. AHA!
