Preventing the Great American Real Estate Robbery?

To France: I'm not trading Flanders for Newfoundland and other crap up north. I'm not trading Dutch Guyana for those crap, either.

But yeah, they're pretty insistent with the trading. They remind me of me trying to get the British to trade me seasoning for the first farm upgrade.

Well it would certainly make your food taste better, the troops would be happy about that one!

By seasoning, I mean the naval technology where they season the wood they use. Who in their right mind would trade with the British for their food?

Uh... you don't lose your technology. Thats just plain silly. The tech thats traded is added to the respective nations.

And I posted this somewhere else, but its mostly because the AI looks at regions in a purely literal way. They see the benefits of that one, and the benefits of that one, and ask you to trade. Of course, this leads to ridiculous offers like Lithuania for East Prussia, or Ukraine for Flanders.

I'm happy to trade technologies with my allies even if I get the poorer deal, as the British I gave 4 techs to the Prussians in return for 2. My allies stay strong on the continent, my Empire is helped to expand, its a win win situation.

I agree with this, I am happy for Portugal to get bayonet technology as I know it'll be buried into a Spaniard and in exchange my people's farm land improves :)

I keep giving tech to Portugal in the hope that they can fend off Spain and Austria. I also feel kinda sorry for them since they got relegated to 'minor' nation.
