Babylonian Trade of the First Contact

[Chieftess]

That's my Deputy
I like Cyc's "1gpt for Bronze" plan.

You do know that's 20gpt. We're making 0gpt, and researching BW in 3. What is proposed is merely a rip-off.

 

[Provolution]

That is a very poor deal indeed. I would rather go for the deal offered.
BW, 10 gold and Pottery, beats by far BW, 3 turns research for 20 gold.

Security is the same, it lasts for 20 turns.
Later on, run a test on what really happens.

If you had read the proposal, CT you'd realize that we're going to be paying 12 gold total (RM says 11 gold total) to research BW. That means with this deal, we'reonly going to be paying 8 or 9 more gold for the Tech. This 8 or 9 gold for the Tech will strengthen our peace treaty and probably save our butt.

This is coming from the man who would never give up a strategic resource like Iron. He's now willing to give up Horses for deal he claims will give us the same security as our nation owing the Babs 1 gpt for the next 20 turns. 'Fraid not, Minister Provolution.

Does anyone else besides me see that Babylon is not a threat at the moment? Even though our capital city is undefended it is very unlikely they Babylonians will declare war on us when we have just met them, unless we provoke them. Why should we be intimidated by Babylon?
