Which client? Which Freeciv version? Which ruleset?

Do you have a savegame from which one can reproduce the problem? (Easiest way to figure situation out would probably be that I check such a savegame)

You can't steal technology because:

1. Unit Issue: Only spies (not diplomats) can steal tech in some games.
2. City Protection: Martial Law or courthouses can block theft.
3. Peace/Alliance: Diplomatic agreements may prevent hostile actions.
4. Game Rules: Some mods/settings disable tech theft.

Try using a spy or target a less protected city.
