Team trading in campaign

from GalCiv2 Forums
I'm getting really frustrated with my AI teammates in the campaign mode. They don't seem to do much research, build much military or really do anything that is useful. Especially frustrating is that the only thing they have seem to have that I need, Enhanced Logistics" they won't trade to me. I've offered them 4 techs of mine, all of which are similarly advanced to Logistics, all my cash and all my influence points and they won't budge. I mean, shouldn't teammates be more willing to help me, especially if they aren't able to in any other way? Why even give a computer teammate? Can this be fixed, more willingness for the AI to trade with you if you are allied/teamed? Gah!

you don't really need them to finish the campaign. just research the tech yourself if they won't trade to you.

tread them like your bank; sell them all your techs, 1-2 at a time for max. profit. They can't win the campaign anyway, and they will awlays be your teammates, so who caes if they have all your tech, weaponry (they won't use it against you).

tread them like your shield; help them out (trade tech, etc) let them deal with DL and other enemy. so it buys you time to prepare your force for taking over the goal (for the most of the campaign game, all you need to win is take over one planet and one planet only.)
