Trade with Egypt, or Persia? Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

From your Emperor, Snoopimus Optimus:

We discovered upon viewing our grand Empire upon ascension to the throne, that the state of our Science is a poor one. We are behind everyone - Egypt, Carthage, Persia, and Macedon - and there are some options for trading to alleviate this lack.

Two different trades will bring us what we need. One involves cash, the other a resource.

Egypt
Wants: Iron, Republic
Will give: Education, Siege Craft, Engineering

Persia
Wants: Gold (400), Imperialism
Will give: Education, Siege Craft, Engineering

You can see that both will give us the same 3 (important) techs. Persia would give us Monotheism as well for another 500 gold, or instead of education for 700 gold instead of 400.

I am of the opinion that we can profit greatly from either of these trades. I prefer the Egyptian trade, particularly because they're willing to throw in a military alliance with the Carthaginians if we want it, and Carthage has Republic already but not Imperialism. We could always trade for Monotheism later with the Persians should we decide we want it (and they're not willing to trade for a war with Carthage without unreasonable returns).

Put an end to popups!

Trade with Egypt then see what else you can get as cheaply as possible

Alliances would also be useful against Carthage, as it seems likely there is no prospect of them giving up the islands without a fight

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

Yes, this is true - they'll currently give up minor cities near Egypt but nothing major.

Increase Your PM Length

I much perfer the Egyptain trade as cheaply as possible.
Giving Egypt a spare Iron won't hurt us given their location.

Also do not sell any tech that Macedonia does not have without first selling it to Macedonians.

Enter the AD-FREE zone

Also, in the event that buying Education reveals that someone has Sanitation, feel free to buy that as well.

lol no problem, this one also turned out to be quite a one sided affair - surprising to me, i thought it would be hotly contested!
