Suggestions:
Sell PH to Saladin or wait next turn for Alpha+PH <-> Monarchy, and to Mehmed when he gets a bit more gold.
Gift Alpha to Toku next turn, sell Poly for 30 gold.
Alpha <-> Mono+gold from Justinian
Alpha <-> IW whoever has most gold left.
I'd hold on to Mathematics... let's us delay HG longer. (and more chances to grab MoM)
I don't think it's a good idea to spread Alphabet early on Emp.
Since AIs' tech rate is terrible, we can't get much from trade. So we'd better not give out Alphabet so early to accelerate their tech trade. I prefer giving out Currency/MC/CoL to Alphabet.
However, I don't minding giving Alphabet to Saladin for Monarchy. No other AI has appropriate tech to trade with him for Alphabet.
Apparently Monarchy is the very next tech to get. Then sell it for IW, Mono, etc. So I suggest:
Next turn: Alphabet+PH <=> Monarchy + money (Saladin)
Monarchy <=> IW+money (Izzy)
Monarchy <=> Mono + money (Meh)
Edit: Optional: Then sell Monarchy to anyone else for gold
Try to trade with Izzy and Meh earlier. We will probably not have the possibility after converted to Confu/Hindu.
@ All:
I'm not available to take the next set either this time.
I'll be away tomorrow and return Sunday night. I suppose the next round will be played early next week so I will be able to discuss it as well.
My suggestions for the next set:
1) try to improve the relation with Toku with MC and before OR. Though we don't need his Ivory any more.
2) build Aqueduct and Forge in turn in Delhi. Try to make sure we can whip 2-pop into each of them and give overflow to wonders. Be careful it's a bit complicated to control the hammers given the multipliers (Bureau+OR+Forge). Put some hammers on Worker if needed.
3) The next city on the island would be fine. I don't mind setting it on the northern Sugar, especially if our Galley lose the battle.
