So I was sitting here thinking about starting a game as one of my favorite civs, the Hippus, when a thought struck me.
For all the talk about them being mercenaries and being willing to go to war for money, why does the AI never *offer* me anything to help in a war?
Whenever the AI contacts me going "Help us in this war!" the only responses I have are "Sure" and "Piss off". Why can't there be a "How much will you pay me?" option? Maybe open the bargaining window where you offer war in exchange for maybe a tech or two. I'd absolutely love this. It would make playing the Hippus seem so much more like authentically being mercenaries than people with a lot of horses and questionable morals. (and probably make it more appealing in general to go to war to help someone)
