Hi all,
Purchased the complete edition of Civ V on Steam when it was sale, and played a few games now. There's a couple of things I'm still not understanding, especially trading.
In the game I'm playing at the moment I have 8 horses available; 6 of my own, and 2 from a Mercantile state that I'm allied with. I have 2 Horsemen units out on scouting duties. The bar at the top of the screen says I have 6 horses left. So far, so good.
When I try to trade with any of the 5 Civ's I've encounted, it says I have no strategic resources to trade. (By the same logic I also cannot trade my iron). What's happening?
With some civs I can trade some luxury resources, but not others. I suspect this may be that I'm already trading with them with that resource, but I'm not sure.
Lastly, are you able to trade away your last copy of a resource? One of my towns has 4 cotton plantations near it, all being worked. Can I trade all 4 of them (Thus depriving myself of a luxury) or will the game automatically keep one copy for my civ?
Thanks.
