Tech Trade:
France doesnt even have physics. France wont give us Iron for physics and military tradition. Guess well need to seize iron if we want to build RRs. They have no salt.
Egypt still being unreasonable. Theyll give WM, 1gpt & 60gp for ToG but they wont throw in Iron for the deal. They have no salt.
Greece at war, doesnt have physics.
Iroquois WM, 58gpt, 113gp for ToG
Japan For ToG will give Magnetism, Economics, Spices (or Silk), 275gp. Or Magnetism, Spices, Silks, 550gp.
Spain For ToG lacks Magnetism, will give Democracy, Economics, 200gp.
Mayans wont trade much at all for ToG. They appear to be broke. I can only get one of the following: Economics, Democracy, or Magnetism.
It appears that Japan is at the forefront of research with us and they have two luxuries for sale and I want them both. Grr.
Final Trades:
Japan: ToG & Ivory for Magnetism, Spices, Silks, 710gp & 1gpt. I threw in the Ivory to give them an incentive not to break their deal with us.
The Mayans are off the table they wont give up anything they know for ToG. That means we dont get Democracy. Whatever shall we do?
Spain: ToG for Economics & 650gp. We still have Magnetism over them.
Iroquois: ToG for WM, 58gpt, 113gp all they have except for their iron.
Egypt: Economics for WM, 60gp, +1gpt.
Total for ToG & Ivory: Techs: Magnetism, Economics. Spices & Silks. 1533gp, 60gpt.
