Help with Race-specific Tech please
GalCiv2 Forums
Hopefully someone can answer a question for me. I have played other games like GC2 that are "text based" and easy to mod, and I have been reading this forum. I don’t seem to find anyone else that has mentioned this. I haven’t done any major mods, just little tweaks to my game play. I followed Macmatt’s tutorial "How to: Create a Race-specific Tech Tree [DL/DA]" (this is the link http://www.i-mod-productions.com/showthread.php?t=663 ). Simple, well documented, very straight forward mod. Here is a copy of my tech.

I then did a couple of planet improvements that require one of these techs, I made it a superproject so only one could be built. Here is the first improvement.

I of coarse then added "Klingon Tech" to the raceconfig.xml file for my custom race. It works fine except for the fact that in two consecutive games, one of the computer races built it before I could! How can they research and build it when it is supposed to be a "Race-specific Tech"?
