All I can say is that I routinely agree to the demand, and I routinely get the pop-up many turns later that I can consider the promise fulfilled. I have never gotten the “you broke your promise” except when I purchased tiles.
I remain skeptical, and until someone demonstrates someone convincingly, my conclusion is that the few folks asserting that organic growth caused them to break the promise are mistaken. It’s just not consistent with my own experience, and there is plenty of confusion caused from (1) two different but similar demands (settling vs. tile buying); and (2) demands phrased as requests. There are lots of posts where people demonstrate consternation over (1) and/or (2). There are a relatively few posts where people assert that organic border growth caused them to violate a promise.
