Should We Trade Monarchy?

[blackheart]

And I'm not afraid of dealing with other nations. Every Demogame we play, all we do is trade off our tech advantages, all the time. Can't we get a change here? Now we have an advanced form of Govt. that we put A LOT of effort into getting and now you want to give it away for peanuts. THAT"S INSANE!

Peanuts that will feed our samurai warrior army of DOOM!!! If we were crafty enough traders we could trade monarchy for everything everyone has and then some. Anyways, they'll eventually get monarchy so why not drive them to anarchy now?

Because we're not ready for a war yet?

20 more turns of despotism for them is another great reason not to sell monarchy, i should make a long list of these....

I bleieve that anyone who does not want to trade monarchy is . The reason for this is that we could get thre very useful techs in the process. This means that we will not have to waste time researching them. The techs that we could get are Construction, Code of Laws and Literature. All these techs are extremely useful for our nation to build into the supepower that it must. With Construction we get Aquaducts for those cities that aren't near rivers and colosseums, which will help both our culture and our happiness. Code of Laws will help those outerlying cities to produce more trade and shields, a very good thing I must say. Literature will help us to build libraries and they increas our science and our culture. Getting these in one turn is much better than waiting to discover them ourselves. This would be a complete waste of our time and be put to better use in getting to the next age quicker. This would leave us with only three techs to get and one is optional to get. I believe this is the better path to take. Since we are going for Lit, we will be able to move to Currency, which I think is the next option after Lit. These are my $.02

It would also get the AI to the medieval ages quicker!

To research what they researched would be easy, because it is lowered in value since they mostly have the same techs. None have Monarchy (besides us), and that means more Despotism for them, so lets not do them a favor.

Monarchy, like Nationalism, Republic (in games I do research it), and Democracy, is a tech I won't easily trade. It is too valueable.

This Trade is NOT GOOD ENOUGH! Take off the Maps AND the Gold and Try it with Code of Laws Added to Construction! If you get "We're getting close to a deal" then the DDA will help you.

If you can't get 2 Techs out of Monarchy (and perhaps a little gold) than NO DEAL!

We can get more techs from France and only if we trade first to Zulu's. Here is a Quote that I made about this.

I know I am not in the trade department, but doing some research of my own, we could be able to trade Monarchy to the Zulu's and get WM, 21g (not all their gold) and Construction. Then we could trade Construction (or Monarchy) to the French and get Literature, CoL, WM and all their gold, which is 57. Or is Monarchy off limits too any trade. This would leave us with only three techs to go for: Currency, Philosophy, and the Republic.

So overall we will be getting three techs, not one. It is almost like a three way deal where we have the major tech and can use it to get more power.

@Zarn. While it is true that AI will also get to Middle ages faster, but so will we. Our goal in the Middle ages is to get Chivalry so that we get our powerful Samurai and dominate our Continent. Doing this will make life for us much easier, so that means I am most definitely for YES for this poll, and hopefully we will get more than half the votes to win this poll. I believe that this poll is only part one of the whole equation in getting more techs. Part two is trading to the French to get their techs. We really should have an update from the Foreign ministry to see what each Civ has available for our use and what we have that we don't have, so that this poll would be much more informed.

Edit: Trade Ministry (I should be more careful) did this but I would have liked to see the Gold they have and ours.

Everyone PLEASE vote. This poll needs an answer by 1pm, it seems. And it would be great if we had one!

My eyes have deceived me! I thought we could get both techs...

We can after we go and do the first trade.
By law, I couldnt check to see what we could get for Const. @ 2nd from anyone else. If I could, I'd have added it here. But I could'nt without a PI being thrown my way (which we have yet to have)
