Sharing Research and at war

[Lothos]

Ok this was a bone head thing I did but it made me realize this is a minor WAD probably. Rumania usually gives up the two hexes on the russian front early in the game. When I attacked Russia I had the Rumanians take those hexes so they would get the man power for them. Well I clicked on one of those hexes to give Rumania research and before I realized it I just gave Russia some free R&D (that does hirt me alot cause it was one of the Doctrines) and I am at war with them. I think a change needs to be made that you can not give R&D to a country you are at war with to avoide this problem or have it sow hen you clicked on a hex that you have taken from an enemy you do not get the previous owners information but the current owners.

The problem here is that it DOES show the owner's info; what you want is the current controller's info. Many people have had this problem when trying to give tech to one of the sides in the Spanish Civil War. I think what we need is for the diplomatic map mode to show owned provinces, not controlled.

But then, it's the case for any war.

It should be the case in all wars. If you want to give tech a country you should click on there territory not someone elses hehe.

Maybe make technologie sharing only possible after clicking on the capital?

Yeah, why not... But what if capital has moved then? New or old capital?

 

[Lothos]

Always set it to their current capitol. So if it has moved then its the new capitol.

I think it would be easier to just make the diplo map only show province ownership instead of control so you will know what country you are selecting without reading the text.

Yeah, I like that suggestion. Simple & elegant
