I checked the save and realized what it meant that Sal wouldn't trade Monarchy, yet :
We don't have IW.
So I guess we should make a preset to acquire it.
Here are the possibilities :
Toku : out.
Zara : out.
Sal : out (to keep the opportunity to trade for Monarchy. Does that make sense ?).
3 AIs remain :
Justinian :
- Currency vs IW, Mono, 40 gold ;
- or Currency vs IW, Meditation, Hunting, 40 gold.
Izzie :
- Alpha vs Mono OR IW +Hunting +10 gold.
Mehmed :
- Alpha vs IW, Hunting, 10 gold.
If we want to limit the number of AIs who have Alphabet, we should trade with Justinian.
If we don't care, then trading with Mehmed and Izzie looks good to me. We don't get Meditation and the 40 gold of Justinian but Mono and IW +20 gold.
If we want it all, trading with Justin and Izzie gives IW, Mono, Med & 50 gold.
I guess Hunting is irrelevant to us and we shouldn't take it, since we would then need cities not connected to our network to build warriors (we may want some more warriors for garrison purpose, not only the 4 needed for the endgame).
Thoughts ?
EDIT :
Also debatable right now is what to do with the incoming GP.
Priest 50% : build a shrine (6 confucean cities at home, 1 at Toku's) vs settle (pretty cool given multipliers and the hammers needed to build our wonders) ;
Engineer 30% : settle (cool just in the same way) vs store (That's our 3rd GP, we won't get many chances to have an engineer) ;
Merchant 10% : settle (hum ?) vs trade mission (appealing, send to Constantinople ? That's the 2nd greatest city, Delhi being the 1st) ;
Remaining 10% : bear with me
My preference is bolded.
