"Transgression!" message

[DojoRat]

I get transgression notices when I return to negotiate with the same faction twice in the same turn. For example, I offer an alliance and trade rights for x dinar and either get my price (should have gone higher!) or haggle until the agreement is reached. But if I close the scroll and then reopen it to sell map info I usually get a bad boy notice even if I took their first offer.

I don't get any if I do all my business in one roll of the scroll, regardless of the amount of back and forth it took to reach a bargain.

Its when you step on thier iNsAnE SkILlZ without the right to go on thier land, I dont think they always do it, only if they have a firm belief you will attack them.

Playing the Julii campaign, I sent my diplomat to ask the Brutii how much they would give me for attacking the Gauls. I figured they'd be happy to help me out. I did this three separate times (they gave me a few hundred dinarii each time) but after the third time I got this transgression message and was told that the Brutii were not pleased.

I assumed (and still assume) that it was their way of telling me I was pissing them off by pestering them for money.
