Accept or we will attack

[Sin Qua Non]

I had it work once against Gaul, but I had spent the last 30 years doing some pretty unpleasant things to them. And then they broke peace later anyway.

Perhaps it would work better against someone who still has a lot to lose?

hmmm ..... I'm tmepted to get in a weak position to where somone asks me to become a protectorate and when that screen comes up make a counter offer and the only extra thrown in there is accept or we will attack just to see what kind of reply I get

It worked for me against carthage. I asked for 10000 denarii for a couple of turns and they said at their weak position they regretfully had to accept. They had two provinces left, Thapsus and Cirta and were about to be crushed at thapsus. It was a counter-offer to a ceasefire, try that if someone asks for a ceasefire.

I had it work in my Greek cities Campaign. I pulled up a vast, veteran army on the southern coast of italy where the Brutii Capital was, It had Spartans & Armoured Hoplites led by a real badass general, who also happened to have a few orangers in his army backed up with Cav and Archers.

My diplomat then wondered over to their capital, garissoned by three units and demanded a ceasefire and a large single payment of 20,000 Denarii... "Accept or we attack"

I can only assume that those Brutii sewers got some serious usage because they agreed.

of course it was war on the following turn anyway, because I was at war with the other Houses and the Senate...

The best i've got is... "We don't accept but please don't attack!"

...Needless to say i attacked!

This feature is the classic white elephant that is TW games in general...often spoke of, seldom seen.

Yet again, CA have made a game with an AI that is as thick as its predecessor. Yea we have more options but they hardly ever work..score!
