Playing Seleucid in VH/VH, I just took Sidon from Egypt. As denarii are scarce, I sell map information willy nilly, even factions I am at war with will buy it for top dollar. I don't feel it gives the AI any advantage (please clarify). Anyhoo, I sell map information to the Egyptians and click leave demands blank. The Egyptians offer 5765 if I give back Sidon and give them the map info, and to add spice ,they will attack if I don't(I'm shaking). I counter that witless rubbish with some more witless rubbish. Please do not attack (with tongue in cheek), offer map info, but no Sidon (over my rotting carcass), for the full 5765 bucks. Pharoh in his wisdom accepts! Even my diplomat was shocked , and he's been around. I found him dead drunk in a Jerusalem taverna mumbling something along the lines of 'I thought that was it, my legs torn off by lions, and my entrails offered up to Set'. I currently have one diplomat wandering around the desert, so far he hasn't found so much as a scarab beetle. Maybe the Egyptians thought they were getting the map to the location of King solomons mines. Who knows?![]()
