I played a game last night (online) and was fortunate to find several barbarian villages in the beginning of the game that gave me caravans. Very early in the game I had about 300 gold and I asked the Greeks for technology and they offered me democracy for 260 gold. I passed on it, seeing as I was in the tech lead at the time and thought the price was a little steep. However, I asked them again a few turns later and the price went down to 200. I passed again, hoping it would continue to fall in price. But a couple turns later, they claimed to have no useful technology, despite me having not discovered democracy yet. Does anyone know why this would happen? And is it worth taking the serious blow in gold to get democracy before anyone else?
Thanks!
