Tech Values When Negotiating Trades

April 27, 2006 2:27 PM from

I find myself wondering if I'm giving too much away when I trade techs.
I often forget how much one tech is worth vis a vis another tech.
I would like to be able to access the Tech Tree WHILE negotiating a trade.

Thanks, EJMH

I concur.

In the meantime, though, one way to sort of get an idea is to put in cash on the light side of the transaction. If it takes 2000bc to tip the scales, you're probably offering/asking a very disparate tech. If it's only 34bc, you're probably pretty close. You do, of course, need to take your relative diplomacy skills and relations into account when using this technique for estimates.

Yeah, I always use cash to fill out the trades. However, the addition of 'total RP to get tech' and 'RP cost of tech' to the right-click popup would at least let you know how much it cost YOU to make it.
