First, thanks both of you for the helpful answers. :) You mentioned there's a difference between ignoring a promise and breaking a promise. Can you please explain the difference? If I promise not to settle near a civ, and then do so anyway, then that means I've both broken my promise (by not...

Hey everyone, I have a question I've been meaning to ask dealing with promises made in the game. Say I settle close to Spain, and then they ask me not to do so again. Now, I know I'll get a penalty (is it global, or just for the AI I made the promise to?) if I break the promise and settle...

Just finished it. Great questions. Age of Mythology actually did help get me interested in Egyptian mythology (as well as the others), mainly because the campaigns for that game were so fun. I think most games are accurate (especially the Civilopedia pages), while others are horrible with...

First, you do realize I wasn't seriously being driven crazy, right? See, this is the main problem I have. I'm friends with them, but they keep spying on me and breaking their promise but I can't do anything. Yes, I get that to the AI the only thing that's happening is me denouncing a friend...

Sad, but true. It made me think, if denouncing someone for breaking a promise and spying on you only gets you a penalty, then why does the game even include the option to denounce someone after you catch them spying? When I see that option provided in such a specific situation, I'm obviously...

Yeah, I completely understand that. I know it will never happen, but I wish there was a game which was a combination of Civ, with the diplomacy of a game like Europa Universalis.

I don't use spies against friends. Maybe I'm not being clear enough. I know denouncing them only hurts me because that's how it's programmed. What I'm saying is that this doesn't make any sense. Yes, paying someone else to DoW them would be better (and that's what I'll do), but that shouldn't...

You have great points, and normally I'd agree, but similar situations in the game have a different outcome. When you make a promise not to do something, you eventually get a message saying that so much time has passed that you can consider the promsie kept. If you break that promise, you get a...

Yes, this is exactly what I wish was in the game. I can understand not canceling regular trade deals because of how easy it would be able to exploit. What I can't understand is why we shouldn't be able to cancel more important deals, such as Declarations of Friendships. Obviously doing something...

Before anything else, thanks for the detailed response. I certainly don't expect the game to save me from myself, and I'm sorry if that's what it sounded like from my post (I didn't intend for it to sound like that). Also, I'm not sure why you mentioned having the option to denounce after...

Hey everyone, I've got several questions about diplomacy which are driving me crazy right now. I'm playing a game as Korea (small map/pangaea/7 civs/17 CSs) and am currently having trouble with spies. There are two countries I have a DoF with, Carthage and Japan. Now, at the moment we're all...

I'm having a problem right now (awesome mod by the way). I'm playing as Uesugi right now, and want to become friends with Shimazu. What's strange is that they are guarded towards me, but there's no reason for that. There's 3 dark green bonuses (no contested borders, share religion, embassy) and...

Sorry for the double post, but I've now found out that none of the buttons in this mod seem to work (for me). Even the barrage option for archers doesn't do anything. Also, I can't pick up any of the sword parts, nor drop them down if I make a unit carry one using the world editor. In fact...

I'm having a bit of difficulty with the mod right now (great mod, by the way). I'm trying to upgrade Epona to be a sorceress, but the option isn't working. I sent a scout to the tile that unlocks the technology needed, but I still can't upgrade her. I've put her in my city (not sure if that's...
