Was trying a game playing with great wall and was in the process of taking out Saladin as Mansa was a little further away.
Noticed he has horses (chariot). fixed that.
He puts out an axeman. So I figure the town to the SE had it since i hadn't explored there. Sent a couple axes over there. He pops out two swords. Ok guess its iron... Get to city no iron or copper.
Open up WB as I'm rather puzzled at this time. Seems Mansa is trading his one and only iron (also has 1 copper) to Saladin. Or else Saladin is rubbing two sticks together to get it. They are at a negative for religious differences and doesn't have a "stop trading with civ" option when i look at Mansa. Mansa seems happy with just his skirmishers, no other noticeable units...
So question is should an AI be trading it's only source of Iron to a rival? Saladin has pigs and corn (both plundered at least once) was using the horses as he popped a chariot or two before i got to them, he wasn't trading that. Mansa has pigs, corn and horses within his borders.
