Virus Elimination

from Stardock Forums
In several games lately, I have noticed other civs with the Virus Elimination tech and none of the prerequisite techs. If I hadn't seen it in at least 3 recent games I would assume that they had traded for it, but it just keeps popping up. Could be that there is a random event involved or something, but I suspect a (minor) bug.

PS this was going to be a bug post/feature request but all of them but the above got fixed/added/tweaked in 1.04 per the readme. Time to update and play it!

I hate when people bump their own messages, but geez stuff drops off the screen in a hurry if noone does!

Isn't Virus Elimination a good-only tech? Perhaps this is related to the bug where I saw the Saintly Altarians research a bad tech... perhaps the AI doesn't follow pre-requisites for them at all.

I saw this again in my latest game. Altairians showed up with virus elimination, noone else had it, Altarians did not have Organic Piecing or Genetic Mapping. Currently playing 1.04.59.

I've also seen this. In fact, it's been in the majority of games I've played. I thought someone said that this happens because luck or creativity can provide a random tech without the prerequisites, and for some reason it prefers virus elimination. But unfortunately, it never gives it to me :(

I could probably also give you a save game.

Yeah I've noticed that in some of my games as well. I had assumed that they had traded for it with a minor race I hadn't met yet.

But now that I think about it, I don't remember coming accross a minor race that owned it later.
