I agree. Note also that different countries pay different amounts for things - in my last game, France would pay 7 gold per iron to me, while other countries only offered 1! I don't know if this changes during the course of the game or something, but I sure jumped on that! Is the AI reacting to true demand or does it just offer 'x' amount for 'y' resource when it has 'z' relationship etc? I ask because I can routinely get trade agreements with nations for things I cant imagine they'll use. I rarely seem to need Iron or Wood (unless playing England/Spain). The same goes for Cotton or Wool. I never seem to run out regardless of which nation I'm playing. The bottlenecks are Labor, Textiles, and occasionally Cash. Since those are so much harder to come by, they basically render the rest obsolete IMO. Why would an AI nation want to trade out Textiles under almost any circumstances? So, when it comes to trading, I feel like I am 'pulling one over' on the AIs if I am trading many of the resources. I havent played a human vs human game yet, but I would wager that human players wouldnt possible want have of the stuff that players are offering the AIs.
