Zulus know currency

[MOTH]

The Zulu's know currency and will give it to us for WM, 11GPT, 209 G.
We can also: Cancel Peace and trade:
Peace treaty, + Currency = Peace, +263 G (or various GPT mixtures).


We are currently researching at 30 GPT for 9 more turns (270 more G).

We can trade the Babs: Diamonds (or currency?) for WM, 3 GPT, 5 G
We can trade Rome: Monarchy (or currency?) for WM, 81 G
We can trade France: Monarchy (or currency?) for WM, 121 G
We might then be able to trade updated WM to Zulu for small change.

Net (without cancelling peace):
Zulus = +11 GPT, +209G
Babs = -3 GPT, -5 G (+Diamonds?)
Rome = -81G
France = -121G
The Good Guys = -8 GPT, -2 G = 162 G cost for currency as opposed to 270.

Edit: Add cancel peace net
Net with cancelling peace and Babs, Rome, and France the same:
Zulus = +263G
US = -56G


What does everyone think? What are the best trades (are these even good?)

The only trade I would do is "redo" peace. If we only give 263 gold, that is less than 11gpt, 209 gold, *and* our WM. If we do get currency via the trade, I would either, a) stop the chat, b) have instructions ready to do other trades (Of course, I'm not the trade minister, so I have no say in this, but that's what I would do).

I would not trade at all. We have large country but far too many units which are slowing research. Also libraries are being built atm.
We should start a war and use our units for something. War with Rome seems very close, therefore we will take all their techs anyway.
We can also get currency quite fast if we go in -gpt. There is really no special need to trade right now.

 

[Provolution]

we need the gold for other uses.

I looked at the game. We can have Currency in 7 turns if we increase science while still maintaing positive gpt.
No need to spend resources for this trade because we will research it ourselves.

 

[blackheart]

We need gold to upgrade our horsemen to Samurai and for embassies.

I agree with invy. Plus I can see trading Gems and Maps around, but that's it.
