This poll is to see if we are going to trade or not and if we do...what...

NOTE:
This poll might be wrong or not...if it is wrong, I'll gladly make a new one later tonight IF I am on again tonight..if not...well, I'll make another poll tommarrow and it will only run 1 day or somebody can fix this one tonight...

So here are the options:

1. Don't trade.
2. Sell HBR to Persia for whatever they'll give
3. Sell one of our monopoly techs (Philo or Lit) to everyone for whatever they'll give.
4. Other
5. Abstain

Thanks!

We will have to give HBR to the persians, because we must keep the AI civs fighting each other until we are strong enough to defend ourselves.

Sell HBR to Persia only. i don't think we should let go of any monopoly techs yet.

sell philo or lit. it is impossible for a civ to benefit from philo and they can't build the GL, we will get it in 1 turn.

But they'll benefit from the MoM.

Do not sell Philo or Lit. We need to maintain our impending tech lead for as long as we can.

Don't trade. We're getting the Great Library. It's worthless to trade for techs when you're getting them the next turn anyway. We might as well be gifting the tech.

I'd trade whatever we can for gold (which I'd immediately spend on embassies) and actually gift some techs to our rivals. It's likely they're going to demand techs from us anyway, which we'd be wise to give them (unless we want to let our UU start our Golden Age before we've reached the Republic), and at this point in the game there are good reasons to be on good terms with our neighbors. Once we have enough map knowledge - and offensive units - to decide which of their cities we want to annex, then we can start playing a more aggressive game.
