tech trading in MP

[frenzyfol]

Do both or just one of the parties in an MP game require alphabet for trading.?

[Pinchak]

You need Alphabet to initiate a tech trade, regardless of whether the other civ has alpha or not.

[frenzyfol]

Ta mate
Thought as such.

[trev]

Wrong, as long as one civ in the potential trade has alphabet, that is enough from my experience.

Looks to me like you are saying the same thing Trev And both are correct, of course.

No, they're not. Pinchak is saying that "You must possess alpha to offer a trade to another player including tech". Trev is saying that "either the offering player or the receiving player must have alpha to offer a trade including tech". In my experience Trev is accurate as well; once a trade talk is initiated the game doesn't really differentiate between ''sender" and "receiver". The same applies for money and currency, by the way.

[Pinchak]

Yeah in retrospect I could have phrased that a little better.

Noone actually "initiates" a tech trade, you just go to the trade screen and if one person has alpha, and tech trade option is on, then you can trade.

Sorry for the confusion.

[Glohithia]

Ahhh, I stand corrected.

Youd think that by now Id have learned not to be cheeky when Im not 100% sure. Problem seems to be I usually think I am right, darn my big ego and smallish brain
