The Slave Trade ?
I know when you capture workers you can offer them back to the AI and vice versa , but at what point does the AI start offering its own workers to you ? Can i start selling my workers as slaves too ??

This is perverse. I like it.
You aren't a person out of your own time by any chance? It just seems that someone who came up with this would be more comfortable in an earlier century.
I haven't tried it, but I believe you can trade (sell) workers located in your capital. Move one of your workers there and see if you can get the bidding started.

Yup. Just got an offer of 20 gold for a Barbarian Worker. Wait a minute... Only 17 gold for a Roman Worker?! Now I'm p*ssed off.
I play Romans d*mmit. Romans must be worth more than anyone else. After all, I play them don't I?
I have been personally insulted by the designers of this game! This is completely unrealistic! I mean I demand my money back! And until they give me my money back I am going to haunt these boards and say completely stupid and illinformed things about the designers and their game until they personally lick my boots. Yeah, lick my boots, I like that idea. Maybe I'll hold out for a personal satisfaction session with Sid himself! Yeah, that's it. I've been wronged. Where the h*ll is Sid! I demand satisfaction!
Keep thinking happy thoughts.

o...k
tried it - doesn't work for me , even with a trade route to their capital - maybe the option disapears at some point ?
how the heck did you get a barbarian worker anyway ?

Conquer city. Build Worker. Unless the city has grown and you convert one of your own to be the worker, any other civ's pop converted to worker will display as Barbarian.

PS.
I tried it in 1989. I don't think it disappears. I don't know if roads or Allainces affect it. Experiment, you'll see it.
