I've always wondered -- why does the AI offer 240 lump sum gold for a luxury, but only 7 GPT (Over 30 turns, that adds up to 210 gold.) This seems rather odd. Isn't money up-front more useful than money over time? Shouldn't it be the opposite way around? Also, it's irritating, because the AI is spending too quick for me to get a fair trade.

Apparently the Fall patch didn't fix this? or is this because you only have G&K and not BNW?
The fall patch changed it from the AI only giving you 180 gold over 30 turns for a GPT deal to giving you 210 gold over 30 turns; but left in the AI giving you 240 gold up front.
With reference to G&K; trades involving GPT gave more gold over the 30 turns in G&K than BNW does even after the fall patch.
This is most apprent on the strategic resource; you can get about 43 gold over 30 turns for a single strategic resource in G&K with exact number depending upon how many copies.
With BNW, you are knocked down to 1 GPT per resource = 30 gold while a DOF gives you 45 gold up front.
