Couple of questions

from GalCiv3 Forums

Got a few questions:

 

1. How do carriers work? I don't see where they are in the tech trees, nor any information on them.

 

2. How in god's name do you get a treaty beyond an exploration treaty with another race? The only treaty the AI has available is an exploration treaty, regardless of standings, techs, or anything else in my games. Either it's really buggy or I don't know what I"m doing. In a related note how would you know what treaties are in effect?

2. I've yet to see anything other than that on an AI side. I can have researched many other treaties, and we can be very Close, but I still don't see much. I can offer them plenty of the other treaties - Alliance, for one. If they're prepared to ally with me, why can't I ask for the Free Trade treaty?

To see which treaties are in effect, in the Diplomacy screen there should be a button. It shows all trades with lasting effect.

In this weeks' game I have gotten Non Aggression Pacts with several other factions.   Of course generally I propose, not sure I remember seeing it on another faction's list of treaties.   In other games I have gotten Alliances by the method of giving or selling the Alliance tech to another faction and then offering the pact.   But on rare occasions I do remember another faction having the tech already.    Up to this point I don't think the AI has a very high priority on treaty techs.  That may change shortly.

Ok, so just checking, if you want a NAP with another faction, you can just put it on your side of the screen and it will apply to both sides? This is not how it traditionally worked in the rest of the games of the series...if it wasn't on the other side, it was basically a gift, where the agreement only applied to you. If it's not really working right then that's ok, but does anyone have an idea when it might be fixed?
