(note if you dont like stories head to the last paragraph for my question)
Ok, I really needed Saltpeter after researching gunpowder and of course I had none in my territory.
So the indians are the only civ with an extra saltpeter resource and so im stuck bartering with them to get it.
Having a small treasury they wouldnt accept a lump sum, I had no extra resources they wanted, and the only way I could get them to trade was to offer 20 gold a turn (ok so it was a rotten deal but I wanted saltpeter!!!)
Ok so Im doing good but then I get nationalism, and can build riflemen that do not require saltpeter. Ok, whatever, ill wait the 20 turns and get my 20g a turn back.
Ok now Im in the bloody modern area and im still paying 20 gold a turn for resources I dont need, and for the life of me I cant find anyway to disband it.
It seems that if you trade something on a turn basis (such as resource for resource or resource for gold/turn), it continues on indefinately unless stopped by a war. Yet if you pay a lump sum or whatever for a resource, it lasts 20 turns then is done.
Sorry im being longwinded so ill get to the point, how the hell do I disband indefinite trade agreements???
