Yep, that's what the Civs that we meet want. Gold!! And lots of it..:D

At least we have trades :D!!!

I present, the trades:

Germany:
Masonry for 128 Gold, 1 GPT (Gold Per Turn
The Wheel for 120 Gold, 2 GPT
Warrior Code for 121 Gold

Rome:
Masonry for 128 Gold, 1 GPT
Pottery for 122 Gold, 4 GPT
The Wheel for 120 Gold for 2 GPT
Warrior Code for 121 Gold

France:
Masonry for 113 Gold, 1 GPT
The Wheel for 122 Gold, 1 GPT
Warrior Code for 109 Gold

France is the cheapist. Take your pick or don't even trade..:D

(For France no trading with us, they sure are the cheapist...:D!!)

We should be able to get all of those for writing (or if not, one of our later monopolies).

I think we should probably hold off on all of them, wait until we get writing. In particular, we don't want to get giving away GPT at this stage.

I agree with waiting for Writing.

Incidentally, how much gold do we have on hand right now?

I think we should buy Warrior Code from the French, but hold off on all other trades until we get writing.

Archers are weak. If we want to crush something, then we will have to wait for Iron Working.

Hold off. Everyone wants too much and I don't personally think anything here is good.

I think we need to get The Wheel asap. We will have another settler before we know it and we need to know where those horsies are before we found cities 3, 4, and 5. We will use Writing to buy IW.

Wait for writing, but the french wc trade isn't that bad so we might want to do that.

I think tech purchases can wait. In the meantime, we can accumulate additional funds while waiting for the price to drop as more civs acquire those techs.

Already 3 civs have The Wheel, so why wait for others? Besides, it won't be great if we stay backwards for too much time. We will have to be at least moderately advanced

We're close to Germany... so a good Archer Rush would be nice...


@Stuck - we might be attacked by barbs (probably an 80% chance -- rough guessimate), so it's best to trade something...
