Ethics techs in TA

Who has them?

from GalCiv2 Forums
I'm poking through the new racial tech trees, but you can't look at ethics techs until you pick one of the three. So far I haven't found anything new, and so I've reverted to mostly neutral for learning centers and free terraforming, even though I know neutral usually doesn't get other unique techs.

Does anyone have a list of the new ethics techs?

Play the Thalans or the Alterians (only pick Good for Alterians) and I'll guarantee you'll see some new techs.

There is a little proggy that Netriak has brought up to date for TA called "Galactopedia". It draws it's info from the game files, shows all the tech trees, as well as all of the planetary improvements for the various races.

You can find it here: WWW Link

If the Galactopedia is correct, only the Altarians and the Thalans get any special techs from ethical alignments. That's pretty sad. Everybody else gets the "Concepts of. . ." tech for their choice, and that's it.

Oh well, maybe they'll fix the Thalans soon and I can have fun declaring for different alignments.

Well, i believe that IS the point with unique tech-trees... it provides huge variable conditions including Ethics' impact or advantages.

No longer do we have to rush for the exclusivity of some Galactic buildings too unless we know by who and when (planets sidebar scanning, anyone!) that precious stuff could slip away from us.

Don't be fooled - there are still common things to gain or waste, but in general the huge complexity introduced by renaming, relocating, taking or giving this and that to one or many is a fantastic gameplay context. To me, it simply gives a whole new meaning to luck and what else.

My Ethics choice always refer to which opponents are present or can serve as potential targets; call me a thief for building an exclusive Temple - first! :)
