Trading luxeries

[dani_stern]

Why do computer players never seem to accept one for one trades in luxuries. They even seem to be insulted by the suggestion. Please help as surely that doesn't make sense.

The value of a luxury depends on the size of the civ accepting it. If you are a very large nation, and you want to trade luxuries with a small nation, be prepared to trade 2 luxuries + gold/turn for one luxury. Also, I believe the higher the level, the more expensive luxuries become for the human civ.

To expand on eyrei's answer, the AI appears to value the number of happy faces that will result from the luxury trade. If the AI gets 10 happies, and you get 25, they will demand you pay more to close the gap. At least this seems to be what is going on...

also the more you have of a certain luxury the less other civs offer for it they also offer more if they have good mood towards you

oh n by the way you spelt luxury wrong

No matter how many people would actually become happy depending on the nation's population, the different luxuries also have different effects. Wine oder incense aren't that effectiv that Gems for example are.

 

[Dearmad]

say what? what game are you playing fidel? They are all equal AFAIK- it's how many different ones you have that counts.

I would like to have a good estimate on that, since When I played in warlord (even there...), I had a problem of that kind!

Can you please explain me:

When you build the marketplace, you get extra happy faces for your luxuries.

If you had just one more (no matter which one), you'd recieve three happies for it.


edit: Just too many spelling errors.

Ok, now I got it. Up to now I have been sure that there are better and worse luxury ressources... For me gems always were special worthwhile...

Is each smiley face just one person in your whole civilization being made happy by the luxury?

No, each smile is one happy citizen in the city you find that screen. And, like Rooker told me, this can change individually for each city, for instance if you build an marketplace.

 

[fidelcastro]

But why do I get 2 happy faces for Incence and just one for Dyes?

 

[BCLG100]

because you got dyes before you got incensce there isnt any differance between the 2 like one doesnt always be more than the other because in another game you could find incence first and that would have 1 smiley face

1st and 2nd -
3rd and 4th -
5th and 6th -
7th and 8th -

The order in wich they appear is the one from the order you get them!

 

[fidelcastro]

Ok, one last question: So it doesn't matter how much I have of one luxury?

 

[BCLG100]

no it doesnt yu can have 10 of that luxury but still only get 1 smiley face

 

[fidelcastro]

Thank you very much.

You only want them to trade with other CIVs to:
- Have good things in exchange
- Their cities become unhappy when You start a war against them...

also on vary rare occasions you might feel sorry for them i did once when they were at war with a huge superpower and they had moved all there troops over to attack this piddling little thing i then went from the otherside and destroyed them
