Biohazard Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 (edited) Well, considering I don't have very good resources (Lead & Pigs), and I'm on the Yellow Team (HORRIBLE team for trades; Alliance color though] here are the bonus resources I'm getting Construction Asphalt Microchips Automobiles Fine Jewelry Steel and Radiation Cleanup Scholars, with 90%+ Lit. Rate Basically, for my resources is this good? I know sometimes not having bonus resources can be beneficial as well however.

LynnCreed Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Construction's good for anyone to have, and microchips is very handy. you don't have much as far as population boosters go though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohazard Posted June 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 What would you suggest to trade in one of the resources for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynnCreed Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Construction, Scholars, Fast Food, Microchips, Steel, and Radiation Cleanup These take advantage of Pigs and Lead, rather than just lead. They give you a much better population boost and still give decent infra discounts. but it's up to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Rupert Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Construction, Scholars, Fast Food, Microchips, Steel, and Radiation CleanupThese take advantage of Pigs and Lead, rather than just lead. They give you a much better population boost and still give decent infra discounts. but it's up to you. Problem is this requires him to ditch his silver, gems and rubber trades to get the population boost you're suggesting through Fast Food. He can get the same population boost you're offering by replacing the silver and gems with water and wheat which will give him the bonus resource Beer. And he gets to retain the rubber related bonus resources of Asphalt and Automobiles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohazard Posted June 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Well, my nation is stalling at the moment...just a tad, so I need all the money I can get (which soon, I won't need too many resources), regardless however, which do you guys think is better? Beer or the current set. Take note, it took me a month to find these trades. (Yellow is failing, horribly) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enderland Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 I would talk to your alliance about moving to a better trading sphere. That really is your best bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynnCreed Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 or paying for someone to switch spheres and trade with you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirreille Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 If you are willing to go outside your color for trades you should be able to get any bonus set you choose within a reasonable time. I only had 1 in color trade for over 3 months, but I got the 3BG set I wanted, and I did fine. Yes it is great if you can get all all in color trade groups but you have to play the hand you are dealt. Speaking of which, lead & pigs, ouch! Pigs aren't TOO bad, but in combination with lead that just bites, built in redundancy makes lead just that much less useful for you. I would say if you have managed to get an 8BG set like you have already, you should be happy with it. That set's only real drawback is low population, but it makes excellent income and has good modifiers. If you are really not happy with it, I think you need to decide which trade set you want before you go looking for partners. And lead & pigs are awkward to fit into some sets. Looking at your nation again I see you are still in a position to tech deal. I'd keep the gold and microchips then if you can, dealing will improve you faster then any boost from a particular set.

Biohazard Posted June 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Thanks Mirreille. I'll stick with the 7 Bonus Resources for now, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
