Like most of us I am always giving techs away to the AI.I have never given a unit away - until yesterday. I was really messing around in the years between launch and landing. I gave the English a fighter - interested to see how it would be used. The moment they received it, I had a message that I had helped them in an advance of English science - they acquired Astronomy from me as well! Does free science come with every unit?  -------------- SG (2)

Tee-hee. That's great. I've never given the AI a unit. I'm going to try it - under the same circumstances - to see what happens.  ------------------

Whenever you give an AI a unit beyond their science level, there is a chance that they will learn a new science. I will admit I have never seen this happen in an MP game when you give a human player a unit... |

not quite. but every time you gift an advanced unit, there is also a chance that something about that unit will trigger a scientific breakthrough. I haven't tried it much (actually, only tried it in reguards to that 'unit boomerang effect' one person had with a mac), but i could speculate that the breakthrough would either be the tech needed to produce that unit, or a prereq for that tech. I do know it doesn't have to be something they are currently researching. ------------------

A vaguely related occurence: I can't say for sure, but I think I've lost money when I've given techs to the AIs in the past. Maybe my emissaries are greasing some palms in the foreign government? |

All these undocumented features and the AI still can't win.  ------------------
