This may be a well know trick, but just in case:
When you see an AI is about to DOW you (ie big stack approaching your borders), you can ask them for 1 gold as a tribute. If they accept, a 10 turns peace treaty automatically starts and so thwarts their attack.
If they are cautious or below you’ll get a -1 diplomatic penalty, at pleased you don’t get any penalty at all. In my experience this trick works most of the time, I think most AIs will accept a 1 gold tribute unless they feel overwhemly superior to you. If they are at pleased it’s even more likely they will accept.
Maybe someone with more knowledge on the XLM files can corroborate this.
EDIT: I just realized the thread title is wrong, you're the one getting the 1 gold! so it should be "trick the AI into a peace treaty and get 1 gold!"
