Some techs require certain aligment for being researched: http://webpages.charter.net/trevorpowdrell/goodcivtech.htm http://webpages.charter.net/trevorpowdrell/evilcivtech.htm But all techs can be traded between all civs (quite odd thing, imho).
Hey all! For my third game I choose war party on tiny map with normal difficulty. Without much resistance from AIs I was able to conquer map before 2188... And I waited for reasonable high score after reading this words in manual scoring section: "as well as increasing the value of a quick win" (formula has been modified), but I get only ~2900 points. After submitting I replayed this game from the end, try to get cultural victory, but without success - after 2-3 years of pointless wait
