There appears to be a way to trade for whatever you want from another civilization for only 10 credits using the new "Persuade" feature.
Steps to recreate:
- Click on the "Diplomacy" icon at the bottom of the screen.
- Choose another civilization that you haven't traded with recently.
- Click on the "Trade" button in the lower-left corner of the screen.
- Verify that the "Persuade" button is enabled (it will be disabled if you have used it recently).
- Do not offer anything, but request as many Strategic Resources and Techs as you want from the other civilization.
- Click on the "Persuade" button.
- The other civilization will still say "I'm not interested in that deal."
- Offer 10 credits.
- The other civilization will now say "I think this is a fair trade."
- Click on the "Accept" button and the trade is complete!
