Demands are a diplomatic option I've almost never used. The last time I did it was before the fall patch : I played Attila, had a larger army than Kamehameha, my troops were near his borders. I demanded gold, and he refused, no matter the sum. So I thought demands were somehow broken.
I also noticed the AI never use demands aggressively against me. They only beg for gratuitous help when we have a declaration of friendship, that's all. And when I refuse, I apparently suffer no diplomatic hit.
That's why I wanted to ask people here : do you use demands, with friendly leaders (=help) or aggressively against hostile civs (=tributes) ? When used with allied or friendly civs, when demands take the shape of help, do they decrease your relations ? Have you been threatened by a hostile civ demanding your gold, and have you already deteriorated your relations with a friendly help-demanding civ ?
Thanks in advance
