Reply to Tech Victory Poll in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I previously put up a post with my reasons against AI Transcendance and i proposed that instead of them winning they should get a bonus to show how advanced they are. I have since continued reading posts and have come up with some more thoughts on the issue. First i have an additional gripe which requires comparing the victory conditions (which may or may not be a valid comparison in your oppinion, but bear with me).

In the Govorner Social Que (which i otherwise think is great and use all the time) I find it very annoying that i can pull up the statistics of what each improvement does. I have to either go from memory or switch out to a view of a planet and find out what it does there and go back. Similarly, on the tech tree it will show what technologies follow after the current one. However, i would like to be able to click on those future techs and find info on what ALL their prereqs are (since i
