question about the strategic AI

[zipnar]

ok, we all know(at least on expert) that when you get to a certain size, all the other countries basically stay at war with you no matter how many of your daughters you offer them.

my question is...if you were to shrink in size, will they become more open to negotiations? or is it a one way trip?

[solypsist]

it depends on your game. on a GA game your score has a lot to do with diplomacy, as ell as your power, tech level, and income.

on world conquest there's no point in becoming smaller else you'll lose the game.

Good question... I assume its not based on size of your country as it were.... but based on if you're the largest faction..

I assume if another faction became the top dog you would be more likely to ally with people.
