Default Re: Help! Newbie question about not getting research from AI players!

Just as a point of clarification. Trade and Reasearch Alliance does not get you any of "their technology". Trade alliance gets you up to 20% of their Construction Points each turn (value increases towards 20% over time) and Trade and Research Alliance gets you up to 20% of their Construction Points and Research Points each turn (value increases over time).

IF you want to get actual technology from them, you have to trade for it, ask for it, or demand it.

To do any of these, use the Politics screen and look under "Ask for gift" or "Demand"
(sorry, I don't have the game open right now).

I don't know of any reason that you would suddenly stop getting the 20% in trade.
