Some tanalizing oppertunities await us in the world of trade. All of the below are the best prices for the techs. Other AIs had other offers, all of which were more expensive.

Hmm... The HBR trade is basically the one I mentioned earlier which lead to my Line discussion. I like the HBR one. I just have a question for Domestic. ARE WE BUILDING ANYTHING?

If we do trade a WM, the value could depreciate...

Yea. We need to choose which trades we want to do on the first turn. IMO, we should do the HBR one. The others seem a bit expensive for now, seeing as we have all these upgrades to do.

I'd advise against trading our world map until we have contact with absolutely everyone and are not in a position where we desperately need to acquire anyone else's map. Once we are in that position we can use WM trades extensively to both raise revenue and improve relations with our neighbours without risking losing out in the long term.

Let's trade for HBR for the following reasons:
1. We are way behind in techs (this should not happend in monarch level games).
2. Our land area ranks 5th and it will not happend again to trade WM so easely for a tech.
AND since we have the money, even if we'll have to upgrade, I would buy Philosophy from the Americans as well, we need to catch up on science! :(
