There used to be an exploit where you could spend more gold per turn than it could calculate and then loop back around and give you a functionally infinite amount to spend each turn but then Mansa Musa came out and people started to do the opposite so it got patched Also unintentionally fixed the problem where if a Mongolian cavalry unit had more than 100% chance to steal a defending cavalry unit it would have been destroyed in its attack instead of capturing the defending unit (think a tank facing a chariot and dying instantly because the chance to capture was based on unit strength)

My favorite is the unearthed relic exploit. If the civ in question has room, on the same turn you uncover a buried artifact turn around and sell it before you end the turn. If a civ has room for it, they’ll purchase it at any cost. You can drain the accounts of every civ on the map trading, and they’ll surrender their entire treasury lol

How did u make to work? When I try to Buy the resources they won't sell it

Also anptjer one is to buy their diplomatic favor b4 they got the civic that allows them to actually use it. Then sell it back to them for crazy high gold

I do something similar but a bit more balanced i trade gold for gold per turn and usually the ai worth for 1 gold for 30 turns is equivalent to about 21 gold meaning every gold a ai is making is worth around 9 so assuming a ai is making 20 gold per turn you can get around after the 30 turns it’s much less op than this but much faster so I would recommend it for multiplayer games

I think this was somewhat turned down cuz the ai is now not willing to trade strategics anymore if it would mean they will have less than certain amount of it (around 20) at least thats what i noticed when trying this or similar thing with diplo favor

Thanks, now I will use this forever and ever. Thank you

You didn't mention that you were giving him gold in addition to the gold per turn, can you instead give him more gold per turn and no gold? I know that you can typically give ~16 gold for 1 gold per turn, so I don't know if this actually gives better rates

@@captain_ratatouille3633 AI values flat gold more than gold-per-turn. So they're willing to trade something like 20 gold now for 1 gold per turn for 30 turns. So you "lend" them 20 gold, which they "pay back with interest" as 1 gold per turn for 30 turns. Repeat as much as you can for massive gains.

Ok so the trade sweet spot on each resource is... Aluminum = 22 Coal = 22 Horses = 40 Iron = 40 Niter = 40 Oil = 22 Uranium = ??? ...do you or does anyone know what the number is for Uranium? It seems inconsistant every time I have tried it thus far.

I haven't tested it, but it should work on all difficulties. Some of the reasons I can think of that can cause it to fail are: 1 you don't have enough room to store all the resources, so you can't buy all the resources back from the AI. 2 the AI really dislikes you and asks for a high price. This is fine, just keep repeating the trade, and the AI will gradually grow fond of you, and the trades tip in your favor. Very rarely, one or two AI hate you so much that the prices remain high no matter what, just give up in that case. 3 AI hasn't discovered that resource yet, and doesn't recognize its value. 4 AI only buys a maximum of 40 horses, 40 irons, 40 nitre, 22 coal, 22 oil, 22 aluminum, if I remember correctly. So don't sell more than that to the AI.

In this scenario you are only making about 1 gold per turn per completed trade. It's a neat little trick to help you over the line, but oft not worth the time taken to get crazy numbers. Thanks Boes

I use something similar but you got to have an alliance to insure it 😂 I just give straight up like 10,000 gold coins but ask for like 450 golds per turn making my profits 3500 by the end of the deal

Pretty realistic tbh, They call that a global trade deficit 💀

whenever i go to do this the game only lets me trade a resource for 30 turns rather than just a 1 time offer. Anyone know a work around for this? (Im new to the game and don't really know what im doing wrong lol)

Because of the lump sum on top of the 10 gold per turn you aren’t really profiting all that much, and you don’t even ‘break even’ until around 2/3 of the 30 day trade period, don’t get me wrong you still profit but if you want gold soon this isn’t it

doesnt seem to work for me, do I have to target a specific AI or do I need to wait until he or i have like 40 stockpile size or something

I've never gotten this to work, is there a specific speed, of difficulty to use this with?
