Drengin research

I've been testing a tech tree mod recently, and I've noticed (through scanning the Debug.err file... what a handy modding tool that turned out to be! :) ), that while most of the AI races are finally researching my new techs the way they're supposed to, the Drengin Empire never seems to do any research at all in the early part of the game.

My question, for any devs who are listening, or anyone else who knows... is this normal? Are the Drengin hard-coded to skip research at the beginning... maybe to focus on 100% Military or something?

Otherwise, I've got a bug to track down... :(

I noticed this also. Early in the game, when you check to see what techs the AIs have, the Drengin almost never have any, ie. you have more than they do, while the others have tons more than you do. Also, their military shoots sky high very early. This forces me to research Corvetts early so I can avoid paying tribute to the fuzzy bear

Thanks. That's good news (it means my mod is actually working... finally :CONGRAT: ).

I had a feeling that might be the case, but I wanted to confirm it before I drove myself nuts chasing down imaginary bugs... LOL
