Making and spending gold

[donsig]

Our harbor is complete and we can now trade with all three other countries. We have one extra gem available which all three could use. We'll have another gem hooked up in six or seven turns. We could connect an incense relatively soon. We may also have a second ivory ready to sell. We'll have silks in about twenty turns or so. What should we try to sell, how much should we try to get for it and to whom should we try to get it from? Note: I've already made an offer of gems to the Greeks for 4 or 5 workers.

The Galls have wines and dyes for sale. The Iroqi have wines for sale. Note: we could rush a library in Fruitbomb to bring wines within our own borders.

Our treasury will be up over 250g next turn. We have three turns left of peace with the Iroqi and they've ofered a five turn extension so we can hammer out a longer term peace treaty. Should we be spending this gold or saving it as a warchest incase the Iroqi attack? If we spend it, what should we spend it on?

4 or 5 workers is only really 2 good workers which imo isnt really worth it, so maybe we should ask for more or something in addition, think we should concntrate gold on expansion, granarys, workers, settlers etc, with the military units to go with them.

i think we should try to do a lux. deal with KISS or D'Nuts for their wines. maybe once we get a 2nd source of Ivory hooked up, we can offer it to one of them for Wine.
