    Question Quirk/Issue/Bug with Diplomats (RTW)

    Something I just recalled playing BI last night which I have seen since 1.0 but have never before had opportunity to enquire about:

    Occasionally (infrequently, but it happens) an AI diplomat will wander up to a settlement or unit of mine and, during the AI turn sequence, play the "unrolling scroll" animation as if making a proposal, but nothing happens. No proposal. At other times diplomats will bring proposals to me in the AI turn with no problems, but not here. Sometimes the diplomat does not move again, and every turn thereafter do the same thing, although they usually give up after 5 or 6 turns.

    Anyone else seen anything like this, and is it a bug, or am I misinterpreting what's happening?

    I´ve seen this also during every game. I´m almost sure that the foreign diplomat is trying to bribe your units/settlements. You can see this in the increase of Anti-Bribery-Traits that your family members get after this event. The other indicator would be of course that you lose that unit/settlement to the enemy ....

    That always annoys me when they do that. What do the bribes do in the game, anyway? I have never successfully used one. Another thing that bugs me is sometimes they will give me a proposition:

    Their Offer: Accept or we will attack

    Their Demand: Please do not attack

    What's the point of that?

    it's just a diplomatic fault the AI makes sometimes, they're just trying to beg of you not to attack them, without looking like a wimp... that's what I make of it.

    And bribes disband all hte units in the stack you wish to bribe, unless you can recruit the units yourself, then the units defect to your side.

    Talking Re: Quirk/Issue/Bug with Diplomats (RTW)

    Hmm. I must admit I feel a bit stupid for not considering bribery. I've had several
    of my diplomats bribed in RTW, and once an entire settlement, though curiously never a family member or military forces.

    I don't know if bribery explains every occurance of this, but still. Interesting.
