33 - I have met the French and Chinese too now. I buy Masonry from the French for Pottery and 55 gold.

53 - Sky made loads from contacts, I am last in tech. A few turns from researching Maths China and France get it before me.

Buy Maths from China for 41 gold.
Give India Maths and 5 gold for The Wheel and Iron Working.
Give Greece Maths for Warrior Code, Ceremonial Burial and 2 gold.
Give Carthage Maths for Horseback Riding and 1 gold.
Give the Iroquois Maths and Horseback Riding for Writing, Mysticism and 6 gold.

heh, not bad! I am 8 techs better off than last turn.

60 - I think Sky just got Map Making and sold it around, although maybe not - there are a few without it. hehe, massive trading possibilities!

After paying 55 gold and 8 gpt for Map Making, I spend a long time selling maps and techs around (Maps have to be sold and bought bit by bit when you are poor!). I get about 160 gold from the trades, so I am still down 50 odd gold on when I started. Fortunately I also have Map Making, Philosophy and Code of Laws. It's a shame I am so far towards Currency, Republic would be much nicer to go for now.

70 - Shit. Barbs rise up everywhere - this is a very fast tech pace.

I buy Currency from Greece for 100 gold and 1gpt.

Sell to India for Poly, WM and 29 gold.
Sell to the Iroquois for WM and 50 gold.

75 - The barbs have finally made it to my territory. I have lost 2 workers so far, and I have pulled the rest of my troops back and suched some spears.
