I recommend that we just do the first French trade. It gives us 48gpt, and France doesn't really gain anything (France does not have horses).
 
France, Rome and Persia all have active Wonder builds, only one will get the Wonder, so that's 2 that can switch to Knights Templar if they get Chivalry.

We must NOT trade Chivalry until we have Knights Templar (8 turns away if all goes to plan), the Wonder cascades are broken, or until it is obvious that France is about to get Chivalry anyway.

I must admit the gpt is tempting (we can also get 16gold with the 48gpt), particularly as we lose a large gpt deal with France in 3 turns.

We should also road our 3rd Wines so that we can replace the Horses in the Roman Incense trade with Wine. I really would prefer that we do not trade Horses.

Germany is worth considering, they have 52 gold, not a lot, but we also have outdated techs of CoL, Currency or Monarchy to sell them. It may be worth taking their 52 gold for CoL.
 
Trade Chivalry the turn AFTER we complete Knights Templar.

Before then is just asking for trouble.

i like the the second french deal. nice gpt and a chunk of cash. We just need to wait until we build Knights Templar.
 
I know we're not considering sale of future technology yet, but for future reference I would like to suggest it is imperative that we do not sell Theology until any pending wonder cascades are resolved, or until we complete the Sistene Chapel.
