Technology Win impossible (would have been pretty cheesy anyways)

Hello everyone,


since this is my fist post here, please let me start saying that I love this game - Thank You !

Now to the main reason I post. I just played a game as the Drath (1.80f/0.92b.004), huge map, maximum no of enemies. Mainly just waltzing through the tech tree to satisfy my curiosity I decided to go for a tech victory. Turned out to be very easy not only due to the difficulty level , but also dur to the combination of (creativity + drath creativity tech). The last 2 techs for the victory I got in roughly 6-7 turns, since creativity activated both times. Only, after I got Technology Victory researched via creat., I did not win. In my victory conditions it mentioned that tech victory condition is set to off. Since I never touched victory conditions in TA, and also won this way before, I'm sure it was activated at the start of the game. Apart from that I definetly suggest deactivating the creativity speed-up for the last few techs in the tech-win branch (Deeper Knowledge onward ?), since it feels very cheesy to develop 60 turns of tech in ca. 5-7 turns, and then win. Savegame exists, I'd be happy to send it.

Cheers,
GroWi

Same thing happened to me.

Tech victory is always a last resort for me, especially against the Korath Clan.
It lets me have satisfaction knowing they stand nothing against me.

Maybe creativity would work better if the chance was based off of how many research points are required to finish the current tech. You'd still be able to occasionally luck out on some of the expensive techs, but you'd see creativity more often for the tiny, incremental ones.
