Yesterday I was playing my game as Germania when all of a sudden I get a diplomatic deal from the Brutii (who I was at war with). To my surprise I saw that in the "offers" part it said "Accept or we will attack" but even more surprising was that the "demands" part said "Please do not attack" and absolutely nothing else!
:help: ~:confused: anyone else got any stories about this?
You can extort money from factions for quitting trade agreements ~:eek:
How do you do that? I need to know for uh, a friend. Yeah that's right. A friend.
Actually, that isn't as dumb as it looks like, the other weird diplo behaviour is much more stupid. Think it this way, the AI is just asking you to agree on not attacking each others, i.e. a truce. "You won't attack us and we won't attack you, deal, eh?"Quote:

Sometime later, you send a diplomat and simply choose the cancel trade rights option, and at the same time say they have to pay a sum of money.
Doesn't work all the time, but I managed to do it several times.
I've always interpreted the "Don't attack" request as "We're not ready to attack yet, so please don't attack us until our really big army gets here."
Riiiiiiight.
Yes, some times I get this, and try instead for Cease fire, then he sayQuote:

Funding your opponents war with 16k just to give them a sporting chance!
Must have been an English gentleman who designed the game. Pip-pip!
