Diplomatic 'Oddities'
Thought I would start a thread on the strange universe of Diplomacy. This is for anything Dumb, infuriating, hilarious etc...
Reason is that I just had the most amazing diplomatic outcome.
It's March 1806, in 1805 Napoleon took a full stack and conquered GB - keeping the mainland but making Ireland a Protectorate.
On the continent Prussia declared war even though I had not taken Vienna, Vienna was taken in February 1806 and made peace and a trade agreement - even paid me for it.
I have two Generals and stacks in Hannover and have fought three heroic victory battles (with the crossed sword markers even) in Prussia, each time the victorious army has had to retreat to Hannover to replenish, so it's been a kind of tag-team war there
Anyway I was about to end turn but was nosing around the diplomatic screen and decided to do a typical AI diplomacy offer to Prussia.
I offered peace, demanded military access, demanded they break their alliances with Austria, Sweden and Russia, demanded they stop trading with them as well and demanded all the technologies they had which I didn't (only three). I also demanded a trade agreement
I offered 10 money in payment - hit the threaten button -and Prussia accepted
Then just to show the other side of things, Mecklenburg in at peace and has a trading agreement with me and has military access, I wanted military access to Mecklenburg to go after that pesky little stack of Swedes that have been sitting there from the start.
By the end of several attempts, I offered them all my technologies (8), 250 money per round for 10 rounds and they refused
Anyone else got any good ones?
