Does capturing a city give an enemy tech?

[Jen Dragon]

I thought there was an optional rule when you started the game to pick if you wanted tech on caputed cities or not.

No, I just checked the options in the game start menu, it doesn't have anything like that.

I know SMAC had that option, and didn't Civ2 It's been a LONG time since I've played Civ2, and I can't imagine myself disabling techs on conquest anyway.

yeah -- civ2 let you disable it. i still haven't gotten any techs from conquest in ctp2 (on any difficulty level).

Hmmm, did the first CTP let you capture tech? I never played it, so I wonder if they designed the game this way or if it's a bug! Either way it bums me out!

In CtP1, you could find new techs upon taking a city.

i'm positive the AIs were ahead in tech cause i had embassies with them, however i've never discovered anything from conquering 200+ cities in the games i've played.
