in fact, try to extort 30000 minai first...

Or just use an assassin to get rid of the guy. It's what I do for roleplaying reasons when an enemy diplomat is threatening me, or if they offend me with a similiar offer.

For once a Hellene Strategos and Roman Imperator agrees. I kill any diplomat asking such ridiculous terms. Just as I kill any diplomat my enemies send to each other or others. No need to let them cooperate.

Exactly. You have to protect your honour and dignity sometimes

Also, I too like to mess with other factions' businesses. Help one who has the shorter end of the stick, prevent a small faction (or one I'm at war with) from making alliances, etc. Diairei kai Basileue, or as you Romaioi say, Divide et Impera (sp?).

Well I agree about the honour but politic is dirt so I'll continue to take advantage of this.

I've also noticed that with these extorsions their financial situation has been severely damaged, reducing their militar aggressivity.

actually, I typically just counter offer them, and ask them to become a protectorate.

and I alo ask for 30,000 in every turn, and 100,000 down

lol , there is usually at least one time in the game where one of your allies will declare war on you for no reason .. so you ask for trade rights and ceasefire , they agree , then attack you next turn .. this goes on for like 10+ turns until you just cbf and let them attack you , or counter attack....
