Problem with choosing to research "cure plauge" and workaround

from GalCiv2 Forums
I got a random event in the game, I assume it was a mega event, where a plauge strikes everyone. I was told the only hope for each civilization is to research "cure plauge" or "plauge cure". I went into the research screen and it didn't show up on the list. I then looked on the tech tree link window on the same screen but at the bottom. I was able to find it and click on it and research it that way. I already had the prerequiste for it.

I didn't notice it on the research list, but found it easily on the tech tree screen.

The AI took forever to research it... (it actually looks like they never have, they almost all have very minimal amounts of population.)

I also noticed that the AI was not researching the plague cure. After a while I felt bad for them (and wanted at least a minimal challenge) and so I sold it to them all. Interestingly enough, they were not overly interested in buying it from me either - they just gave me the same money they would have for any other moderately expensive tech.

Yep- when this mega event is out, I think plague cure should be +1000000 on the AI priority, otherwise the player will eventually get an easy win.

I think the tech shows up in the list the turn after the event.

Heh, I'm exploiting this Mega-event alot in my current game, giving the cure to all my evil buddies and watching all the good and neutral pests die slowly.

I don't think the AI currently can change research in the middle of a project but they really need to be able to do that and then focus on getting the cure because this event hurts alot.
