Diplomacy

Hi,

I keep falling way behind technologically and I think this is because the AI's keep trading techs with one another.

Whenever I try and trade I am never sure what is a good deal and what it will take to get an AI to part with something.

So my question is - is there a way to offer a tech and see what the AI will give for it, or alternatively to request what the AI wants for a given tech?

Thanks in advance.

Check the color of the text on the bottom. If it is green they will go for it, yellow they will not. That way you can play with a trade until you find a blanace you like.

It would be nice to have more colors to kind of indicate when you're getting close so you can throw in a few extra bucks or something.

The AI will trade and buy techs.

I find it easiest to just buy techs. Easier then trading. After all, why trade 4 of my techs to get 1 of the AI's when I can BUY it, and then sell those 4 techs for more then I spent on BUYING the tech?

Although--- I generally don't sell techs, most games. And I understand that sales prices for techs have been reduced.
