Unique techs/coponents?

from GalCiv2 Forums
A very simple question... is it possible to make techs or components that only a certain race can research/build? Or a way to set it so that only a human player will ever get them?

I've tried setting AIValue to 0 in TechTree.xml, but it is still build regardless. So... any ideas?

As far as I can tell, there isn't a tag for this. A possible way to do it is give the tech a requirement of ImpossibleTech and add the tech to the race's starting techs. The problem with this is that the tech could be traded to allow access to it. I haven't tested to see if/how this works though.

You won't want to name the tech "ImpossibleTech" because then you'll screwup your starship building (you'll be able to build Corvettes, Rangers, Pirate Ships, and Starbases.) Any other name will do fine. Theoretically, once you can turn tech trade off, you could make one special tech for each race, give it to them as a starting tech, and then each race could have its own unique techs branching off from that.
