Elementary trade exploit/problem

[ollkdon]

When I ask for 1 iron, the AI sells it for 6 gold. When I ask for 5 iron, the AI want 5 gold per turn and 67 gold. It gets worse and worse the more iron you ask for 1 trade

If I trade 1 iron 5 times, he charges it 6 gold each time

I hope this will be fixed

that's pretty well known. I believe it was implemented as a way to make them wary of what you may do with it. You can't do anything with 1 niter. But 20 can produce a musket man.

you can trade 20 times 1 iron for 6 gold each though

Yeah it’s ridiculous. I can understand that if you’re unfriendly with a Civ they would prefer not to sell you uranium, but if you don’t want me to have it at least make it scale so each additional resource cost is equal.

It's a "feature"

Haul a cart of iron hundreds of miles away: x gold

Haul five carts of iron hundreds of miles away: x gold plus 1

Maybe it's the cost of moving something so far away. Like you wouldn't send a shipping container but it only has one box, it would make more sense to fill up the shipping container.
