In my recent duel with Walek I run into a serious problem.
In a scenario created by Darsnan we have AI's tweaked so that they are incredibly strong. I play Datatech and rather late in the game I recalled one of the traits possessed by Data Angels, which goes:
^Gain any tech known to 3 other factions with whom Angels have infiltration: {Wide-ranging covert activities}
Well, in SP it's a single most useless trait in the game, no wonder I forgot about it.
Anyway, I got back to the game and quickly infiltrated 3 AI's (all of them had 8 techs not owned by me). According to the description, I should get all their techs instantly. Much to my surprise, I got NOTHING.
I know what you think: "Angels get only techs researched AFTER the third infiltration". That was my first guess as well. But...
But in the next turn I got 2 of the techs owned by those factions, and both of them were NOT researched during this turn (I checked the previous ones to make sure).
I run the tests in the editor. Playing (SP) weak Datatech I gave myself 3 infiltrations, all of them to AI's with about a dozen techs more than me. The results were surprising... I got 3 techs immediatelyin my turn, 2 more in the following one and yet 2 more in the following. But even then it was not all of the techs controlled by the trio infiltrated.
I could not notice any pattern in that which and how many techs I could steal.
While it IS true that Angels get EACH tech researched by their victims after the 3rd infiltration, it's ALSO true that they get some techs having been researched beforehand.
Does anyone have any information concerning this issue?
If not, could I ask someone to run the tests and confirm/refute my observations?
