Prestige Penalty When Giving Techs

[unmerged(131989)]

Do you think that the prestige penalty incurred from giving away techs is realistic?

Personally, I don't think it's right or fair, and would like to see it removed in any future patch or expansion. I don't really think that a nation would be looked down upon by sharing its knowledge with other nations, in real life. The only effect, in my opinion, should be the increase in relation.

IIRC it was introduced to stop people from selling techs for large amounts of money.

Oh right. Well perhaps if the AI was a bit smarter we wouldn't have needed this?

The AI is definitely the area which needs most improvement, in my opinion. HoI has a better AI than Vicky! (for the military, especially). I just want the UK to fight in Belgium!! Is that too much to ask??

It's fine, if you only trade one tech for one or two techs, there's no prestige penalty.

IMHO, it does make sense.
Any civilized power poor enough to sell its discovery to other just to make money ( Who would sell tech outside dire times?) would have been looked down upon with much contempt.
