Anyone know where to find the (relative) price for bribing an AI to DoW another AI? I'm mainly concerned with BtS (3.13) values, if they differ between the versions.

I realize the actual price is depending on progress/era and most likely a bunch of other factors (Actually, what would those be? Another interesting question...) but I'm looking for the different leaders individual modifiers, if there are such.

In the excellent BtS reference charts I can find out at what attitude a specific AI is prepared to go to war for me, but some are surely easier to convince than others.

I believe some main factors would be:

1. how much they like you
2. how much they dislike the person you want them to declare war on
3. what they'll get out of it (techs/resources from you, land from the AI)
4. Your and their military strength
5. The strength of the target
6. The vassals of the target (I'm not sure on this one)

Hope this helped. I'm also not sure if there is a "formula" for a declaration of war.

The cost for bribing someone into war is substantially reduced if you're already at war with the target.

Like Myth says there's way too many factors involved for anybody to make any sort of price predictions or lists.
