Ahh.  That's nearly useless.  You have to trade them the technology, then bribe them into initiating a treaty?

I would like to see something like combined research where multiple factions work on the same tech at the same time. You could select the same techs from either tree of who is involved. You could; even, give a new tech tree based on sharing a tech, how many factions share a tech, or tech trees based on both which factions, and how many types if faction trees. You wouldn't have to get this in depth it would be nice. I understand that researching certain techs would ptreclude others later, but trading should be doing this for balance anyways.

Ditto.  They seem to value a trade agreement pretty highly, though, (a lot more than an open borders or non-aggression pact), so I can usually trade it for a few techs.

The code is a Reciever Modifier, no Modifier for the giver.

Its such an easy fix.......the GiverModifier is there just unused...

      <xs:element name="ReceiverModifier" type="ModifierType" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>

EDIT:

Meh, I'll make a mod for it, untill it is changed with Crusades I guess!

EDIT 2:

Ta-da!
