Been noticing something interesting lately. In my last game on a Europe map, I was playing as Russia. Having no port city, I wanted to settle on the Baltic Sea area, but Poland got a settler in that direction first. I thought I'd rile Casimir up a bit and asked him to cease settling cities near me.
For the first time ever, I saw:
"Fine, we will avoid settling cities near your territory. Clearly cooperation is not your strongest point.". And he kept his word, too! I never before seen an AI NOT react to that demand in an angry way (the whole "Im a sovereign ruler and will settle where I please" thing), leave alone actually LISTEN.
Then, in the same game, Egypt sent a missionary to St Petersburg. After doing his thing, I noticed 3 more missionaries heading my way. I ask Rameses to cease the converting...and he too listens.
Now it's not like I had a big military or anything (Ranked 7/18 for military might, both Poland and Egypt were noted as "similar power" by the advisor) so I'm seriously wondering, since when do they actually listen?
I would've taken a screenshot of the Poland situation too, but somehow the shots dont seem to work at leaderscreens for me.
