What are your thoughts about tech trading?

Damn I haven't been on the forum for a while and just randomly came across you shouting me out, it was nice to see so thanks

But yea the mechanics are in VP now as modifiers which are updated in the HandicapInfos table.
There's less instant yield bonuses for AIs now and more cost reductions, which can scale with era so the AI bonuses are less heavily weighted to the early game.

Thx for clarification. Good to know.

Are people saying it's too cheap, or too expensive, to buy a tech with Gold? I'm wondering if it benefits more science civs (selling) or non-science (buying).
Also do people sell to civs in wars with their enemies. Like IRL America would sell tech to SE Asia to defend against China.

I say that it's too expensive, so it benefits for the seller.

It's like selling sth without losing anything, so gold out of air.

Its too cheap for the human to buy techs to catch up. But its too profitable for the human to sell techs to the bottom civs for extra gold. The mechanic overall doesn't work well as there is essentially no drawback of selling techs to the weaker civs for lots of extra gold.
