Using Unresearched Intel Projects |
In the Intelligence section, click the popup menu to select a project to focus on against an empire. The list is ten projects long, even though I have researched only two projects.
What happens if I pick one that I haven't researched? Does it just secretly say "tee hee"?
The popup window should only list projects that I can actually use, and possibly even show my current level of ability.
Ok thanks So there's like a
Ok thanks
So there's like a level-0 that everyone can use? Hope so.
Intel Projects
I ahve not seen the ability to actually steal technology as an intel project. This seems like an obvious choice. In games I have stolen ship designs and other empire information, but never any technology.
I've stolen tech
In my last game, when I had the setting "Sabotage - Empire Wide" my spies stole two levels of armor, and Rock Colonization (I was a Gas Planet Native) from the enemy.
The text says that technology theft comes during "Espianage - Empire Wide"; I think it's a bug and you should set it to "Sabotage - Empire Wide" if you want to steal technology.
Eww, colony tech theft...
Eww, colony tech theft... man, SE5 needs a Colony Tech Mod 
Kwok, did you incorporate that into your stock-rebalance mod?

No Colony Tech Restriction in Balance Mod
No. I tried to keep things stock-like so there's no advanced modding tricks etc. I did reduce colonization back to 1 level though since it wasn't really worthwhile to research otherwise.
This particular issue is more of an imbalance in intel then anything else.

I don't think you actually
I don't think you actually have to research them; it's just that once you do, you get bonuses when you use them.
