I recommend we continue researching gunpowder, buy printing press from Babylon and buy astronomy from India. Rather than pay Gandhi 725g up front I recommend we pay 25gpt and 250g

We can buy printing press from the French for WM and 401g. Joan will sell us gunpowder for WM, 1gpt and 797g; banking for WM, 14gpt and 800g; and astronomy for WM, 9gpt and 799g. Greece, China and America also have these techs but want even more than France does. Hiawatha has all but banking but he cannot beat the French price either. Russia needs our furs and incense and so will sell us techs for the following prices if we include our WM and the two luxuries in the deal. Printing press for 90g, gunpowder for 552g, banking for 1gpt and 798g, and astronomy for 715g. Babylon wants our incense and will sell the techs for these prices if we include our WM and incense in the deal. Printing press for 12 g, gunpowder for 479, banking for 745g, and astronomy for 643g. Rome will sell for incense, WM and these amounts of gold. Printing press for 307, gunpowder for 773g, banking for 13gpt and 805g and astronomy for 7gpt and 811g. Shaka wants furs and will sell the techs for the following prices if we also give our WM and furs. Printing press for 315g, gunpowder for 777g and astronomy for 7gpt and 814g. Gandhi can undercut the Zulu price. He will sell the techs for WM, furs and the following amounts of gold. Printing press for 165g, gunpowder for 579g, banking for 1gpt and 798g and astronomy for 725g. Note that gpt can be substituted for gold up front at the rate of 1gpt for each 18g up front. This increases the actual cost of the deal since 1gpt equals 20g. We are currently exporting incense to Greece for 4gpt and this deal can be ended at any time. We are sending furs to China for 2gpt and 13 turns remain on that deal. India has dyes for sale, Bablyon has ivory and China has ivory and silk. We have an ivory, incense and 7 gems within our borders that are unconnected. Our treasury stands at 814g with a 110gpt. We are researching gunpowder and will have it in 16 turns.
