Trading techs in Simultaneous game (PBW)

[JenMax]

Oh, and just hope you trade partner doesn't pick the exact same "throw in" tech...

[Jubala]

The problem was not with identical tech, it was with offers being sent from two players the same turn, accepted by both players the same and it would just vanish. And it was about an offered partnership treaty, not trade but my guess is that nything that "meets" on the way between two players get lost somehow. I hope that makes sense to someone somewhere.

Makes sense to me, but then again I got my brain all wrapped around this issue for the Last 2 days

Another question came to mind: in a low tech game early on, let's say I research Physics I and then Shields. My ally has not done Physics I yet. If I give/trade him Shields, will that automatically give him Physics I and open up the other branches of the tech tree for him that are related to Physics I?

(same for Constuction => Mines , etc.)

Dragon,

No giving him shields WILL NOT give him the basic tech to get to shields. he will get a message that he received the tech but can't understand it and will not be able to use it. You need to send both Physics and shields for him to have it.

He will get the tech for shields, but will not be able to research shields on his own until he learns physics.

You only get a "cannot understand" error if you try to trade Racial or Unique techs that you do not have the racial trait for.
