okay, I checked this out Last night and it does work

.
Just for testing I added a Monster Lore tech area that can only be gained by analyzing captured monsters. It definately gives food for thought...
Of course that would mean that monsters (at least some of them) can be captured. Currently that is not so.
Hmm, maybe add another monster type that can be captured and have the AI only build one or two of them at a time (brainbug?). Then they would be valued prizes.
As I said, food for thought... I am happy with suggestions as I am not the most innovative guy around here
