Trading luxuries

[Shiber]

In case people haven't noticed the Rome is connected to Russia so once our harbor is complete we'll have a trade route to Russia as well.

Haven't looked at the save yet, but the lazy French worker is actually working on a road now eh?

That brings up an interesting question. Should I still move our workers into Chartres territory to build our own road, or just scrap that plan and wait for the French worker to complete a road?

I've just had a disturbing thought: Rome is likely to demand our dyes a turn after we complete the harbor. Therefore I believe we must trade our dyes to the Romans for whatever deal is possible (even if it's a lousy one) the moment our harbor is complete (unless the Rome strikes a deal with Russia for their dyes before we complete our harbor).
Furthermore, it'd be a good idea to try to get Persia's iron. It's a good idea anyway since it'll reduce the threat from Persia to nothing and enable us to take the Pyramids easily (now or in a future campaign), but also because we'll be able to trade it with Russia. They will surely pay a SWEET sum of lpt for it, plus it's in our interest to support the Russians to prevent Rome from further expanding by ways of conquest.

According to MWIA the French worker has been working on that tile for 3 turns now so there's no point in "helping" him.

Yeah - at least 3 turns as it was there and working when our workers moved towards Chartres.

Luxuries trade as soon as we can will be very nice, giving us the Lytons needed to support us in either the wars against America or Persia, or in developing our nation.
