trading resources & MPP

[hzm]

Why is it I can't trade with another civilization something reasonable like furs for dyes? Why do I have to give a world map, furs, and 24 gold per turn?

And why is it if I want the Zulu the have MPP with me I have to give them 90 gold per turn, spices, and a world map? Isn't this supposed to have mutual benefits?

Why is the game like this? It horrible!

i agree - in the begining of games, you can sometimes get a half deent trade, but as the game goes on, it often is 3 lux/world map/gold to get one luxury - not fair

When I go for a trade like that I would offer Furs to the Zulus and see what they offer. They will usually give you a pretty good deal. Then i will ask for Dyes and usually get a similar deal in return. If you swap one luxury for another the deal normally seems to be weighted unfairly towards the player however having two seperate agreements seems to get me a fairer deal.
