Question about Subjucation
 

When someone has a Subjugation treaty with another empire, they gain all tech advances that the subjugated empire developes. What happens if a subjugated empire finds a Unique tech? Does the Dominating empire gain it also?

Re: Question about Subjucation
 

Actually, the dominating empire doesn't gain any tech from the subjugated empire. That part of the documentation is completely wrong. Yes, I have tested this.

Interesting. I thought the dominating empire gains any *new* techs that are researched from the subjugated empire.

Ah, well, there goes that plan. Thanks.

Well, it's actually a good thing that techs don't go to the subjugating empire...think of how that could be used in a PBW game if all the techs that the subjugated empire had would be instantly transferred to their ally, who would just subjugate them for a turn. Switch it around, and you have both empires at equal tech for the time being.

No, it doesn't say that they get all existing techs, just new ones researched since subjugation.

BTW, R13, I've moved to PG now. We're practically neighbors!

Awesome, I'm moving to PG in September! Going to university http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif . Should meet sometime.

The dominant empire doesn't get any techs at all, previously researched or new development.

Re: Question about Subjucation
 

I'd consider that a bug.

They do. When I subjugated an AI race, I got a whole bunch of technology from them. Of course, I was light-years ahead of them in technology... but I still got the technology. It's only technology you can research, I believe, so I don't think you get any racial or unique tech.
