An idea for a new feature

[Proditor]

I know that Rhye has stopped making updates, so this is kinda pointless. But since there are still modmods in development it isn't completely pointless.

My idea is that when you're at war with another civ there should be an option for the other civ to give you resources as part of their request for peace. I don't think it should expire with the peace treaty though (like the gold per turn does). I think it should only expire if they are no longer afraid of you or if they no longer have that resource obviously. Actually, come to think of it, I don't think the gold per turn should automatically expire after 10 turns either. There should be a way for civs to "pay" for a peace treaty with another civ that can last indefinitely like a resource trade does. We all know that it happened in real life a lot.

What do you guys think? I just thought of it right now so I'm sure there are angles I haven't considered but it seems to me like one of those things that should have been in the game from the beginning.

Don't everybody reply at once, one at a time please!

i think a simple bump would suffice -.- and as for your idea if u lost a war, u want to pay another civ certain amount of gold per turn for a long period of time, i think not... as for the resources, if you want the resource so bad, just conquer whatever city its near...

 

[Proditor]

Would you care to explain why you don't like the gold per turn part?

 

[Leoreth]

Counterquestion ... why should the former loser be still paying gold per turn when there's no peace treaty anymore to protect him?

 

[LuKo]

Because when former winner tries to attack again it loses gpt bonus

Exactly. Let's say you fear your neighbor will attack you and you know you won't be able to hold him off. You could offer to pay him to leave you alone. It makes sense, and it also happened a lot in real life. For example, towards the end of the roman empire they would sometimes pay certain barbarians to not attack them.

You already get a ten turns peace treaty whenever you conclude a deal with the AI (whether you get something in return or not).

And some of them did still attack them, and then demand more gold.
