when I want to trade lets say 1 lux to 1 lux , so many times the AI civ wants 3-4 lux
or just won't trade even if it is very good to them

why ?


and also do they trade better between all the AI civs ?

Thanks

they prefer to trade 1 for 1 if they like you and it's a resource they have multiple of.

They won't trade their last gold for a new resource they don't have.

Also if they hate you the values shoot up and if they have 50 gold they will still ask for a truck of stuff if you want to look at the shiny gold.

If the AI likes you and they have 2 gold they will trade 1 gold for the whales they don't have.
 
Agreed, the trade deal mostly depends on how the AI civ likes you. DoF and you´ll get fair trades most of the time, if you´re ahead and/or they don´t really like you, they will demand more.
Gets ridiculous quite fast; I think of such offers as the diplomatical way of saying "Yeah right, go ahead, nothing to see here" ;)
Isabella is good on demanding a 4:1 ratio in her favour, but you can get fair trades even from her if you´re friendly.
 
In my experience, trade with AI is not consistent. Sometimes, i can make a 1:1 trade, other times, the AI makes a ridiculous demand.

The biggest complaint I have about the AI is that the AI civs will build all of their new cities toward the human player. The AI cities on the map look like the arms of a sea star (starfish).

The only time they don't trade 1:1 is if they don't like you or are plotting against you. Other times, they will gladly trade 1:1.
 
The rules of trade is 100% hard coded with no random elements afaik.

They need to have extra lux to trade 1:1. If it's their last they are going to demand a insane amount for it.

The less they like you, the more it's going to cost you to make up for the dislike.

In BNW DoF will allow you to trade lux for gold, without DoF you can only get gold pr. turn trades.

There must be other things to decide this. I tried this second to get truffles from Siam that had 3 of them, they've been friendly towards me for the last ~1000 years (in 16xx atm on marathon) and they want 4 luxuries some gold and open borders for one of them.

I do seem to have experienced this more often since BNW, but that might merely be a psychological thing :D
 
Like the others have said if they are friendly then its cake..but anything shy of a DoF and u will have to give more to them...hoesntly if you didnt like someone and they wantes ur extra whales for thier silver would yih do a 1:1 trade? I wouldnt
