Highest Gold Per Turn
What's everyone's highest gold per turn for a resource? In my current game, Gandhi is paying me 56 gpt for coal. I think I may have seen higher, but can't remember.

I have the diplomatic skills of an Ogre, so I seldom get any GPT deals after the ancient era.

In the late game you can get hundreds of GPT for techs (and probably resources) if the AI really wants it.

Must have been for railroads. Just mildly important, especially if you've been at war and have some repairs/reconstruction to do.

need Iron to build so maby if i hadent sold them iron they
wouldent have built up a massive army and wasted me.

you dont get GPT AFTER ancient era?

i normally don't get any during ancient because the AI feels its not ready for such deals or something.
even when asking 1 GPT for a tech, they "will never do such a deal" Only later on i can get GPT deals.

And i do play deity where the AI evolves faster than on another diff
(or is the science fast compared to the expanding than in other difficulties?, for example an average AI now has 15 cities at end of ancient, and would have had more in lower diff's because ancient ends later?)

No, it is because they start out with more units (more settlers?). I have never played beyond Regent/Prince, on Civ2 or 3.

Nope, but the AIs often buy resources that are largely useless in the late game, i.e. saltpeter.

If you trade modern era resources like rubber, aluminum, etc you can get really good money for it. In my current game I get 147 per turn for Aluminum.

So long....

Why on earth do you want to let some one get aluminum? It allows them to build weapons that can be used against you and the money is not worth it.
Even if you have a weak civ that you want to see make MA's to fight another civ, you are not helping them, by taking all their money. Better to give it if you think you need to help them. I find you really cannot help them, except to attack their foe.

I've gotten 188 gpt for a resource before, that is fairly common. But I do play on HUGE maps so the AI probably has a lot of disposable income.

Well, they do before I siphon it off anyway............

Cash is the only reason my friend! You need it in order to buy techs from the people you are selling aluminum to. So the cash just goes around for the benefit of everybody. Aluminum is of no use to me if I have a backward civ.

So long...

You're giving Osman 50 gpt in return for him giving you 155 gpt with 8 turns left till expiration?

How did you get him to agree to that trade?

those are 2 seperate trades made in the same turn, with the second one involving me trading Osman a tech.

Since the AI was constantly at war with one another and myself, I wanted to try something else instead of gifting/trading resources and lux to the AI to ensure their loyalty of my trading partners.

And since the tech cost was raised so much in that game (was it AU402? I can't remember), I knew I could gift the AI with gpt and get that gold back when I trade them the tech and thus improving relationships and hopefully ensuring the AI doesn't side against me in a MA.

I can't say for sure that it worked since the game ran so slow on my computer, but during the turns I tried that.. my AI trading partners didn't side against me in a MA.

EDIT: and somehow I missed the point of the thread being gpt from resources..

oh well, resources, techs.. it's all gpt from the AI in the end..

300 + for a monopoly tech . If you trade it all round , to the strongest first , then you can get 1000+ from 3 to 4 civs .

Pardon me for straying off topic a bit.

I couldn't help but notice a map in the screenshot that Pea posted looked pretty huge with a zillion city dots on it.

Is there a new map size in PTW? like "Extra Huge" or "Gigantic" ?


As for the trading, I've never gotten a gpt. For some reason, I always end up either doing simple diplomacy or complete warfare. Guess I'm no Machiavelli.

It's quite easy to earn very large sums of money if you own the right amount of rare resources.
