I noticed that conquering enemy cities we can steal the tech of other races.
Why don't we allow the players to obtain the benefit from other races in a significant way?
Let's say i'm an elven player and i steal some improvement for human archers. Why don't allow me to use it? What if i'm a human and steal the poison weapon tech from orcs (allowing swordmen to use poison)?

What you think about that?

yes i had in mind earlier, this was is not good.
they should not be able to steal such tech
űORű
they should benefit from it.


but i couldnt decide where to go, maybe we could discuss tech by tech which is available to all races and which is not.
eg: animal sight definitely not fit to undead or orc.

so i suggest listing all techs and making them be in these groups
- shareable/stealable by anyone
- shareable/stealable by only these races
- not shareable/stealable by anyone

or something like this.

Yes, for example smithing techs could be available to every player aside from undead (they usualli are armed with the weapons they used when alive), while poisonous weapons could be available to everyone but elves (being considered an evil way to fight), and so on.
