Howdy!

I´ve been stealing workers from a few city states but making peace shortly afterwards.

I´m playing Marathon and its turn 257 now but influence with CS is degrading at -1 per turn.

That´s even after getting patronage opener.

Does anyone know if the degradation rate improves with time or will it keep falling down the stairs liek it is doing now?

In order to steal a Worker, you need to declare war on the CS. The CSs will overlook the first DoW, but the 2nd and subsequent DoWs will result in permanent CS hatred of you.

I stole once from each of the 3 nearby CS. So guess it is cumulative with all CS, right?

To the best of my knowledge, yes. They act as a collective consciousness in that regard.

Or "ally" yourself with the barbs and let the barbs do your dirty work of taking their worker for you.

OK, thanks guys.

The plan was to go up the Patronage tree but after learning this, will start another game and steal from other civs.
