In our renegotaiting we should attempt to get steam power. However I doubt we will be able to sucessfully.

I've been slightly busy this weekend. Additionally the loss of the Columbia and an avalanche in the Rocky Mountains which took the life of one of my female friends younger brother have made it difficult to find time. so my trade discussion is a bit lacking in detail. Next Trade discussion will be far more comprehensive

Unless we can get another tech from Persia, I'd let our turn 8 deal run out.

Also, there's no need to apoligize for not being conprehensive. RL takes presedence.

I would not be above taking the GPT from Persia, the trade deal would also maintain friendly relations with them (now the 2nd most powerful nation). Indeed the technology is important, and if a reasonable alternative cannot be reached with Persia allowing for some gold or the tech itself, I would definitely support a new trader for these materials.

I agree Immortal, and I like the concise, turn-by-turn format. It doesn't leave much room for interpretation or error by you or us.

I think renewing or renegotiating the deals with Russia depend on whether we want a Russian war or not. Note that our alliances against Babylon can be cancelled (and peace made?) just before our Russian deals end...
