Trading AI / of strategic ressources / ...they need for Unique Unit

[Cybah]

Is the AI priorizing the import of strategic ressources they need for their unique unit(s)? If not, this should be changed.

Suryavaman should highly priorize getting ivory for example.

I also noticed: The human player gets ressource requests very rarely. I currently own 3x ivory but I'm getting no ivory request from anyone.

But uranium is being requested everytime.

oh and the AI will never ask for a ressource in exchange for gold or more than 1 other ressource.

1 uranium for 1 fish for example.

Hmmm ... I'm kind of shocked but there doesn't seem to be any added value for whether the resource enables a unique unit in CvPlayerAI::AI_baseBonusVal. Unique units, particularly those which require resources, are especially valuable.

Is there any reason not to weight it a little extra for a unique unit? I'm not sure it should be a huge shift, but maybe ~33% more value from units since not having the unique unit is a bigger disadvantage.

33% sounds good.

We should change

<iAITradeModifier>0</iAITradeModifier>

to

<iAITradeModifier>10</iAITradeModifier>

for horses, ivory and coal. Aluminum should get "20" instead of "10". Oil should get "30" like uranum.
