The Return
We may have found a way to enter the Industrial Age. It may seem a bit costly, but the benefits could outweigh the dent in our treasury.
Our current treasury: 161 gold; 71gpt
Step 1: We can get Theory of Gravity from the Persians for World Map, our surplus Dyes, 60g and 58gpt. They are the only civ that will consider giving it to us.
Step 2: Of all the civs that have Magnetism, only two of them need Theory of Gravity: India and the Iroquois. Since we are still at war with India, we should be able to trade ToG to the Iroquois for Magnetism with no problem. The Iroquois may even offer us extra if they have it.
That could leave us with only 101g and 13gpt, but we would be thrust into the Industrial Age where we would automatically pick up an extra tech(most likely Nationalism).
If we were to do this, it would open up the door for Riflemen, War Mobilization and a chance to see where our neighbors stand in the tech race. Could more trades be possible from there? Only one way to find out!
The alternative is to wait for the Iroquois to discover ToG themselves, thereby missing this golden opportunity and ensuring we remain a backward nation.
This is an informational poll and will run through Saturday's turnchat(3PM GMT/10AM EST). It is in yes/no/ abstain format.
