Trade Poll $7: Gornischt, And Not In A Good Way

[Stuck_as_a_Mac]

Gornischt: Nothing, and in a bad way.
This poll is NOT over whether or not to do this that or the other trade. This poll is on whether or not to sell something. It is my last poll here and I plan on giving the DP discression over any and all trades done with this said technology.
The question: Do we hold a fire sale on Medicine and sell it to anyone who will pay for it?
Reason: Cathy: Medicine-> 214gpt, WM, 220 gold.
edit: Also, Joan Abe and Mao will trade us Medicine for Nationalism w/o any other strings. So thats another reason.
She will then trade it around to make money herself off of it.
So, do we beat her to the punch and sell it ourselves
NOTE: Medicine does NOT enable you to build Hospitals

I think Zulu will give us money for medicine too

 

[Stuck_as_a_Mac]

@bh- yes, but I think the zulu are about to attack us.
no use in making deals w/ people who plan to attack you

 

[Donovan Zoi]

As long as we can get Nationalism in one of the trades, I am for it.

Trading with them may avert war.

If we trade with the Zulu, we should be giving them something per turn rather than the other way round, so that if they break the deal by declaring war we don't lose out. It might even encourage them not to declare, it might not though.

When that's the case, (in my experience) the AI usually turns around and heads home.

 

[Furiey]

In my experience, sometimes they do, but all to often they don't.

 

[Stuck_as_a_Mac]

@fureiy- same here. they just take it and keep advancing.

hence why i wont deal with them

I am still disappointed we did not get Nationalism with the last trade.
