Strange tech issue

...in DA campaign under TA

After I bought GalCiv 2 EU some weeks ago, I started playing the campaigns.

DA coming before TA, I started with the DA campaign, but within TA.

At some point in the later missions I encountered a strange problem.

The "Ultimate diabolical research" tech seems to be in the tech tree 2 time.

Once after completing "imaginative research", the second time it's there without prerequisits.

The first one just gives you acces to the next lab, the second one however in addition gives quite a lot of nice bonuses but is pretty expensive.

Now, when I first completed the "regular" UDR after IR, all my research labs upgraded to the "ultimate slaveling lab".

However, I couldn't build any new ones. No research buildings showed up in the list.

Only after I had researched the second UDR tech I could build any new labs again.

Has anyone else noticed this? Is it possible that it is due to a bad translation of the spreadsheets? (I'm playing the german version)

It sounds like the DA campaign is using the Drengin tech tree from TA? IIRC it should use the regular generic one from DA to avoid issues like this, because the scenarios are designed to use the old tree.

As I started the campaign from within TA, I guess it's using the TA tech-tree.

Still I'm wondering, because afaik the Drengin tech-tree does not have this tech two times, but I may be mistaken.
