    OOOh, sorry, sorry have not played with the racial techs.

    Since I clearly have no way of possibly paying for them, I will change it to Micro Technology.

    Are political cards usable in place of influence for purposes such as buying CCs with Leadership? Or can they only be traded for resources?

    Page 25 of the Base Rules says:
    Players may spend Trade Good counters from their Trade Goods area as a substitute for spending either one resource or one influence.

    And since you can discard Political Cards for Trade Goods at any time, it looks like you could trade Political Cards for Trade Goods, and then redeem the TGs for Influence to buy Command Counters.

    It's the economy!

    I should make a careful clarification here, however: when you're discarding a Political Card for resources or influence, it is still a Political Card. The Political Card is used as if it were a Trade Good, but it isn't actually a Trade Good. You can't trade the Political Card to another player, for instance.

    Allow me to be the first to say that the Yin seem to have a fine head on their collective shoulders. The Universities must meet in conclave before we officially vote (we are a duocracy after all) but... Err, just put it over in the corner. No, the other one. Blasted paperwork. Ah, where was I? Oh yes, the Yin are a likely group of fellow to bear the mantle of this illustrious... erm... position.
