Default Re: Trading Tricks? I need Gas Giant Tech!

A couple of tricks worked for me a few times.

1) if you have a spare planet somewhere out of the way you might be able to trade it for a colony tech - seems drastic but it's cheaper than researching a tech.

2) If you make a trade treaty w/a race that's lower in score than you, you might be able to get it to give you their tech as a gift - has also worked for me.

3) Offer to trade your tech for theirs - never tried this but I've heard it works

4) conquer a weak race (if the game situation puts you in this type of situation) and you'll get his tech.
