Hello.
I'm wondering wether I behave as a lowly cheater when I finely tune my trades with the CPs.
Let's take an exemple.
I've just discovered the Republic and thanks to the Great Lighthouse my galleys have just established contact with all the other civs.
I want to trade my techs and get the most profit from them. So, I'll contact all the civs one first time, not trading anything, just to check who has what and how much money each one has. I'll write down the info carefully!
Then I'll start twisting my brains until I find the best way to maximize profits and exchanges.
By doing this carefully, you can often rack up every tech any CP possesses, and about all the money they own, just trading one or two good techs.
For instance, the Egyptians, who are completely isolated, are the only ones to have Monarchy; however, they have little else. I'll give them writing, literature and whatever they demand for it. I'll even give them the Republic if needed, because I know they won't be able to trade it to the others until they discover Astronomy! Then I'll sell monarchy to all the others, in exchange for currency and construction (thus propelling me into the Second Age) and whatever gold they may have. Right know, the advisor says "we are backward people", but in one turn and with just a few clicks I'll emerge as the most advanced and the richest civ.
Do you think this is an exploit?
