Removing bribing entirely.

[Brutus]

Currently playing as Britannia on M/M, having already whiped the Julii from Italy (they only own Caralis now), but never got any bribing attempts, I seem to be the only one who bribes on the map... However, the Brutii have only some landlocked provinces in the Balkans and still they have more cash ánd more armies then most other surviving factions combined So íf they start a bribing campaign my barbarians will probably never get at Rome's gates...

Khorak, I feel your pain, but forgive me for saying that was a very funny and entertaining rant. Thank you for lightening up my working day.

As a note, I've found that stationing a diplomat in a settlement tends to stop it being bribed, even with a garrison of just one unit.

Odd. In my three latest campaigns, I've had 2 cities bribed - both under the same circumstances. In fact, both the same city (different campaigns). I was taking out the Brutii, took one of their cities, left a token defence and marched to the second. Got the first city bribed away from me.

I did discover an interesting trick tho'. Diplomats can't bribe a city with no one inside (which includes queuing up a unit). So I reloaded, moved the army just outside the city, and produced an assassin and killed the diplomat.

I have noticed plenty of diplomats trying to bribe other cities of mine, but they never do so. I just assume that means they don't have the money.
