I'm playing this game as Carthage on deity level, huge map, and the time has just gotten around 10AD. I eliminated India and half of Spain to get some breathing room, and the America was another neighbor of mine.
Finally, I discovered Astormancy, and since I have kept a great leader from my wars to hurry the wonder, I decided to trade it away immediately (nobody else has it yet). I brought up the diplomacy screen and asked each civ for prices one by one. The highest was offered by Persians: two techs, a 120 gold up front with 10 gold per turn - I was satisfied with the gold since nobody has a lot of money at this stage. However, when its the America's turn, I put Astormancy on the table and asked Lincoln what would he offer, and I almost fall off my chair, he offered Banking, world map, 85 gold up front, and 101 gold per turn!!! I was like, err? Is my CPU over heated or something? Yeah I've gotten a few hundred GPT for modern techs easily before, but has anyone got this kind of deal this early? For reference, my whole nation has a net income of 290 GPT, and I don't expect America can make much more since they are about the same size as me.
Anyway, I did not end the deal right here, which I usually do to keep other nations in good terms. I removed the tech and world map Lincoln offered, and requested more to the GPT part, the deal was finally settled at ...................... 85 gold up front, and 252(!!!) GPT!
I immediately give America their 85 gold back for free, just to show my "Good wishes", which is, hopefully, they will not declare war on me during the next 20 turns.
So, what's the highest GPT everyone got from AI at this stage? (Around 10 AD)
