Spell check may help - sense check won't. They are posting rubbish all over the forum.

Nah, it's a type of troll activity. And there's no ignore feature it would seem, so just glaze over your eyes when you get to his responses and skip them over.

And for some reason the people on these forums love this guy. They actually give him +rep for these unintelligible ramblings.Nah, it's a type of troll activity. And there's no ignore feature it would seem, so just glaze over your eyes when you get to his responses and skip them over.

If you turned his keyboard around the result would be the same.
Spell check wouldn't help. Drug therapy might.
Electric shock therapy would be fun to administer.
People also get +Rep for intelligible ramblings, just less often.
The +Rep for morons is indicative of why democracies are in such trouble.

Why do people think anything in the game which isn't to their liking is a bug?
A bug is when the game isn't working technically as the game developers intended. Crashes are a bug. Ships in trade nodes believing they are on land and becoming immobile is a bug. No naval invasions are a bug, since it is inconceivable that it would have been the devs' intention that the AI would never ever invade by sea.
Intended features which you disagree with are, by definition, not bugs. It is not a bug that the AI is uptight about sharing its technological achievements and will only do so for a serious price, such as a province. It is not a bug that the military forces of all European nations are so similar. It is not a bug that troops have ahistorically low amounts of ammunition. These are FEATURES, and even if we'd all agree that they are utterly retarded features, they are still FEATURES, not BUGS.
My guess is that the reluctance of the AI to trade tech for tech is simply there to prevent the player from exploiting it to be the tech broker of the world, trading for a tech known to only one and then selling it to each other nation and collecting a price from each in turn.

Re: Swapping Techs!
On the matter of tech trades, I'll say I feel it's nicely weighted. I tend to throw it into a deal at times, such as when you have an advantage in a war, but you want to end it for the time being. You can throw in a straight up or weighted tech trade and...occasionally...the AI will give in.
The low rate at which the AI accepts these demands (as of the last time I played the game, which is currently shelved till appropriately fixed) keeps tech trades from being abused.

Re: Swapping Techs!
yeah, in civ4 for example, with 15 other civs and no "no tech brokering", you just research one tech you know they won't, set research to 0 then trade for absolutely everything else for the rest of the game.
If the computer actually trades techs at perceived 1:1 value. For every tech you research, you can get 1 tech from every faction; In Empire that would be like 10 techs, getting halfway through the techtree in 4 turns (in theory). it just wouldn't work

Re: Swapping Techs!
Stupid as the AI might be, it'd be totally retarded (or totally desperate) to give away a tech it owns exclusively. And it's probably comparatively easy to program (something like "if any_other_factions_have_tech=0 then trade_this_tech=0"), so it's probably not bugged.
Every turn in my game as Prussia, I have Russia, the Ottomans and the French offering me techs - in return/exchange for provinces. One time I felt tempted and made a counter offer (they offered 2 provinces and tech for 3 of my provinces) which had resulted in one of my provinces for techs, but they "utterly rejected". Which is weird.

Theoo, I've never before held such contempt for any one person. You can't truly be so stupid as to write like that. If you do it for laughs, why can't you find something better to do with your time?thate is tru; wat hell CA. thinkeng ??. anothe bugg. wel. wil be fixced. wen. gameplaypatch finaly come.

Re: Swapping Techs!
don't offer them techs, offer them no techs and 10,000 then they'll accept, but don't offer them 4 techs and 10,000, then they'll refuse, and yes, its broken
