Cheapskate Economics

[DaciaJC]

An exploit, yes and certainly interesting, but I wouldn't continue doing it. Mainly, this is going to make relations between you and the AI bad. Very bad. And this means, no getting any deals in the future.

This is what strikes me as interesting, the fact that those factions that I am ripping off continue to make these kind of deals, and that those factions that I was allied with before this exploit continue to be my willing brothers-in-arms. The factions seem to be completely oblivious to my fraud.

However, as Drewski pointed out so well, doing this exploit effectively lowers the challenge, and so I'll be giving back the mnai I "stole".

Strange that I should be the only one who has had this happen, as I recall it occurring in my first Getai campaign, but I had not known how to take advantage of it.

Oh, and I suppose I should ask: if I make a money offer to a faction, and they reply by gifting me with some mnai... would that be considered an exploit as well (if I accept the offer)?
