A very good plan, even if only half the trades work out. Well done Spiff.(\__/)

Go for it. We'll need Iron Working and The Wheel fairly soon, after all.

I cringe at the GPT, but it seems I am in a minority of 1...
OK then, but what happens if we run out of money and default on payments?Comment

Right now we're earning 9gpt (I think). The french deal is done. Thank Jupiter and Rah!
Spiffor is proposing gaining 3 or 4 or 5 techs for 118 gold. Good deal, if it works.(\__/)

I think its a great plan and a great deal. We need to make sure it doesn't adversely affect the potential war with America though...Si tacuisses, philosophus mansissesComment

Thats one plan that definately has my support. After all the complaining about the AI doing tech whoring, its nice to be able to give them a little bit back. Also, don´t we have 90% Tax just in order to take advantage of situations like this.Comment

Not a minority of 1, but perhaps 2 at most...
3 GPT seems a hefty price to pay to me as well. Remember, soon we will have barracks comming online we will need to fund. Also giving GPT will mean we earn cash slower, therefore we research/ buy tech slower.
Iron Working, at present, offers us no real value. We are not likely to have Iron in the one mountain we own. The most it is good for is identifying targets.
I would suggest purchasing The Wheel. No, not for Chariots. If it so happens that we do, in fact, have horses locally, that will give us another GPT for ourselves.One who has a surplus of the unorthodox shall attain surpassing victories. - Sun Pin

Theres a good probability that there will be horses nearby with such an otherwise poor starting location.
How do you rate the chances of anyone discovering riding before the first archers are built.Are we having fun yet?Comment

Unorthodox, while i inderstand we probably won't have iron and thus can't use the tech, the whole plan hinges on us trading it to civs that don't have it. If we wait till later to get it, this opportunity will pass, since they will all trade it to each other.
