Question about Subjucation

The dominant empire doesn't get any techs at all, previously researched or new development.

I'd consider that a bug.

They do. When I subjugated an AI race, I got a whole bunch of technology from them. Of course, I was light-years ahead of them in technology... but I still got the technology. It's only technology you can research, I believe, so I don't think you get any racial or unique tech.

I suspect you're talking about surrendur, which is an entirely different thing.

It was the latest patch. I subjugated someone, NOT made someone surrender. I think it may still work on AI.

Sorry, I just tested it out. I took over a couple of AI races and made them accept subjugation. Whether under my control or their own control, newly researched projects don't get sent to the subjugating empire.

Like Douglas said, you get no tech. It was the case, many patches before SE4 Gold, because I managed to force Subjugation on a Neutral AI once. So that's what you may be remembering.

But that was removed, I suspect because it was too unbalancing on multiplayer - it is, in effect, automatic tech sharing without even the couple turns of diplomacy delay.

When I wrote the entry in the Encyclopedia Malfadorica{clicky}, I didn't mention the tech transfer, because it no longer applies.
