So, I guess I'm only about 10 years late stumbling on to this forum. Sigh. I dusted off my old copy of C3C a few months back and have played a few games. I think I'm getting back into it and seem to be doing fairly well on my latest game. This place has been very helpful.
My question about the Great Library: does it only work for civs that you are in contact with or for all other civs? I built the GL in my current game but got NO techs out of it before I got education.
Background:
Playing with 4 other civs, but was in contact with only two of them when GL was active. The Chinese were quite backward and, to be kind, they were in a tough situation - sandwiched between me and the Portugese sharing the continent with him. So the Chinese never really had anything I didn't anyway. The Ports were ahead in some things though so my hope was that between them and one of the other as yet un-contacted civs, I might get a tech or two out of the GL.
No such luck. I got nothing out of the GL, hence my question above.
