Traded gold with Saladin for 5 gpt.
Tried to beg Ragnar some of his 90 gold.
Christian missionary 4 goes back to Tessalonica for converting it to Christianity.
Attempting to please Charlemagne even more to snatch Philo if possible. Aachen is probably working on MoM right now...
Once I get Philo, I'll switch to bureau+pac for maximizing GPeople during the 8 turns GAge.
Will try to spawn one GMerchant...so I can make a trade mission with Mansa's ToA city...which of course ensues with peace. Not really sure why a DoW was made on him seriously. A chance he's not a guy holding grudges.
I guess the cuirassier path was chosen after all. So, I go towards that path, ignoring Machinery...so to bulb Lib...
Traded with Charlemagne Lit for 40 gold. Still no fair trade bonuses.
Done the same with Ragnar. Also Cyrus because I like that dude.
Traded Aesthetics with Saladin. I don't really fear Worst Enemy hit with Mongolia since that tech is worth little. And 110 more gold so valuable. It is possible I give some to Charlemagne next turn to bump him to FRIENDLY.
I lower the slider to max gold while still getting CS next turn.
I wonder if the chariot doing the scout job could try to snatch some workers from Mansa from backdoor so to get a free peace treaty instead of pony up some 45 gold...

Excellent, we got a timely +1 from resource sharing. So, we are at +10. I think we need +11 IIRC. So some gold gifting in hope to make him FRIENDLY and trade Music+CS for Philo+Calendar if possible.
Ah, it only cost me 40 gold and I got FRIENDLY Charlemagne.
This screen pleases me. Charlemagne is not knowing his AI will make him at my mercy...
Excellent deal.
And then I begged him 90 gold. I don't like to give in fact. Give it back b****!
I traded horses with Cyrus for 6 gpt.
Since my neighbours are now harmless (Genghis is busy), I'll switch to Caste System while the GA along pacifism and CS. Let's do it now.
Prague has invested 288
![Hammers :hammers: :hammers:](/images/smilies/civ4/hammer.gif)
in possible MoM. Let's start it somewhere to get some lil fail gold.
Ok, I'll continue tomorrow...getting late.
