What rules are we having for tech trading?

The one I have in other game is you can only trade a tech that you researched not one you have received off someone else

Not sure they has not been any discussion yet?

I think that's being too restrictive, because then there's no fear that giving away your tech might eventually end up in enemy hands.

Maybe the only rule should be that it has to be a real trade. i.e. no alliances between two people where research is coordinated and always shared. It leaves everyone else in the dust.
So basically, anything the AI wouldn't do, you shouldn't do.

Anyone elses thoughts on this?

Sounds reasonable

I sent the wrong turn to douglas sorry for the delay.

I think the problem with having that you can trade any tech means that I coudl research gunpowder, set up a trade with douglas and while setting up a trade to the others, doug sets up a trade with the others so I can't trade gunpowder with them. Which means it is a little unfair on me, I research gunpowder get 1 tech for it and douglas gets 4 techs for it.
Also it would be possible for everyone to pick on 1 person where he trades his tech with 1 of the others and then they trade between themselves.
