Iconians and limited research trade capability

December 5, 2007 1:29:41 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
Question, I thought I saw somewhere that with the Iconians having precursor technology that they wouldn't be able to trade this technology being they don't fully understand it.

Was I dreaming I can't find this mentioned anywhere?

Because if this was true I was going to ask why I am trading the Iconians for what appears to be precursor technology so I thought this was an error.

Well, what are you trading them for? They get precursor archives right off and can research precursor libraries fairly quick. Then they get a few other precursor items sprinkled throughout the tech tree. The archives and the libraries together can give them quite a tech jump early game, but at a HUGE upkeep cost.

Yes I've noticed I can trade for, gain through conquest or steal the technology needed to make precursor libraries and I think it's a bug 2 from the description.

I don't recall anything saying specifically that they wouldn't be able to trade it, just that they can't really improve on it. Though root racial techs should probably be untradeable either way.

Nooooo! How else can the Booorg assimilate the uniqueness of other, otherwise irrelevant, cultures?
