would be nice to have....

is there a proper place to make this suggestion?

Yes, or at least arrange the techs in the menu based on techs and their correct order, instead of an alphabetical listing.

I just wrapped up a game where this was a big issue. I was buying the friendship of a few of the AIs by selling them technology, and wanted to carefully work my way up a defensive tree that wouldn't help them against me. Difficult to do without having all the tech orders memorized by name.

Which is the one good thing about the fact that the gc2 tech tree is generic, you remember one tech name per tech forever

Never had this as an issue myself, although I have a good memory for detail + the fold-out techtree somewhere on my wall. Would be pretty useful to have though, and would work well if it allowed you to select an option then have the relevant part of the tech tree shown up.

Galciv2 - ideas forum is the place to put all the threads. Myself, if I want to make a suggestion I go to www.ircatwork.com address irc.stardock.com channel #galciv and poke one of the developers.

That was a damned lie, I'm there constantly. But if you don't have an IRC client, that's the easiest way to get on there and talk to stardock.

I have a possibly dumb question. I have a game, I'm Numero Uno, but because of 2 civilization surrenders, all of the sudden the Arceans are in a close second from a really far second place. That doesn't bother me, I lose freighter revenue with fewer races, but I still have a slight edge in Influence, about 50% more military than the #2 Arceans, commanding Technology and Population leads, and we're about even on Economy and Industry, in fact, I believe they are slightly ahead in in Economy. Anyway, I am Good in this game. Apparently, the Arceans mastered some Neutral only techs. All of the sudden, every single turn, they offer me one for something like Total Majesty. MY QUESTION IS THIS: Since I am Good, is he trying to pawn off on me a tech I can't even use just to get something universally useful from me? I mean, I even accepted once, cannot find his Neutral Tech in my tree, cannot build anything new in projects or wonders... am I right to assume that to use the tech I must be Neutral? Was I duped into giving something for nothing? It is suspicious to me that the same civ offered the same sort of tech every turn until I accepted.

No, it's a bug.
