List of trade delegation gifts

[God of Kings]

@Guandao It would be great to create a list of trade delegation gifts made by each leader.

Please add Wikipedia links as well, even if it's apple pie.

Update: Here's the list compiled by Guandao

I was just thinking about a thread like this. Harald gives powerful traders that come with stones.

They're powerful runes carved on stones to be more specific.

I believe that Harald said, "I've sent traders with runes carved on stones. They are powerful. The runes, not the traders."

I was trying to be funny.

Last night I was horrified by a-ping that I shared a Wikipedia article of it in Facebook and posted it as a "fun fact"

Here in the Philippines I thought that aborted duck embryos (balut) are already unique. Never have I thought of eating creepy tarantulas as a snack.

 

[Guandao]

Here's my first attempt at such a list, I will update it tomorrow since I'm not using my laptop (which has my game files) at the moment:

I wished they all gave some sort of food...even bizarre ones , Why don't Pedro, Vicky and Fred give anything? I would like some feijoada, bangers and mash, and sauerkraut.

 

[Rosty K]

I don't remember Alexander and Cyrus ever sending delegations to me, interestingly. Well, Cyrus usually ends up starting next to me, so he goes out before he has a chance

 

[Turrdy]

doens't saladin gift horses or the like? Maybe it's different for every localization...

[Eagle Pursuit]

And you should be grateful for that

 

[Guandao]

Since this is related, I will list what the leaders ask you to do when visiting their closest city:

Teddy Roosevelt: show you stuffed bears
Saladin: finest arts, most delectable feasts, and melodious adhan
John Curtin: roasted macadamia nuts
Montezuma I: test your skill at Ollamaliztli
Pedro II: asks you if you can dance the samba, enjoy the Carnival
Qin Shi Huang: see terracotta sculptors
Poundmaker: see how the Cree people live
Cleopatra: introduce you to boardgame, Senet
Victoria: extend an invitation to visit her realm, which has "many colonies"
Catherine de Medici: delicacies of food and drink, teach you how to use a fork
Tamar: Visit their capital and behold their defensible tsikhe.
Frederick Barbarossa: see some glory in his city, unless they are rebelling again
Gorgo: sample our hearty black broth
Pericles: Debate politics before enjoying the theater

Lautaro: walk among the Chemamull and learn about their ancestors

Harald Hardrada: visit nearby city (it's no Bilskirnir, but it is nice)
Amanitore: see impressive pyramids skyline at dawn

Which of these invitations would you seriously accept? I like the ones involving food.

When does this metamorphose into an elimination thread? "Leader Gift elimination" or whatever...

 

[Morningcalm]

Saladin's gift of snow and fruit is based on his real-life gift to an ill Richard the Lionhearted--Saladin sent him fruit in mountain snow (basically the early predecessor to sherbert) and also physicians, who treated Richard. Moments like this are what make history remarkable. Even though they were enemies *during the Crusades no less*, Saladin and Richard treated each other as one would expect chivalrous knights to.

I would like to see @Guandao start a Trade Delegation Gift elimination thread and a Foreign City Visit elimination thread.

Interesting discussions will come out of them.

I think Jadwiga should offer pierogi, my favorite comfort food (except maybe hummus).

Amanitore's camel liver must apparently be eaten raw.

Don't make the mistake of cooking it!

The relationship between Saladin and Richard I is one of my favorites in history. Another of my favorite Saladin/Richard stories is when Saladin sent Richard one of his horses because a king should not enter battle on foot.

 

[Guatenadian]

I wonder what Trade Delegation Gifts and Foreign City Visit statements would be for possible future Civs?

Kimchi for Korea?
Beaver Hats from Canada?
Rose Hip soup from Sweden?

this makes me very hungry now. Now I am craving for maki.

 

[Morningcalm]

Kimchi has been around since the Three Kingdoms of Korea, so I guess that would fit with Seondeok or Sejong as leader.
