Yes he did. Maybe because I am playing at Regent level...

Nym, I try to play very diplomatically myself as I'm never certain I'll get the UN, and I don't like to use the well-known exploits to make a vote go my way.

I've just never been able to get a deal that large myself -- simply amazing. And it doesn't "surprise" me that he honored the deal, just as it wouldn't "surprise" me if he didn't honor it -- I've seen it go both ways myself. But I have seen a tendency for the AI to not honor deals such as the one you struck - after all, he got Fission, and you've got what has to be a fairly onerous a turn-based deal. You were aware of the risk, and the deal worked. Great job (and interesting story)!

Now, if you were playing Theseus at MP . . .

Well the Techs value is 11.200 Gold so 10.400 + a Luxury is really a good offer of Hammurabi!

That's why I think it is exceptionnal and it will probably not work as good as it did. Between 100 and 300 gpt for a tech during modern era is more common.

how do you know or work out the tech's value in gold?

That's a good question. How did you?

I suppose it's related to the number of beakers needed and the difficulty level, but I do not know more.
