Broken diplomacy?

[Madhatter4]

Why is it that you cant bribe certain civs to go to war on your behalf. In my last game I offered 6 techs, a city, resources, and 1000 gold and the AI turned it down. The AI player kept saying "We have nothing to gain" ....HOW IS ALL THAT CONSIDERED NOTHING TO GAIN?

Worse : I wasn't able to get myself bribed, the AI keeps wanting me to go to war for nothing. And if you don't reach an agreement with them, hop, -2 diplo modifier. Quite steep logic, methinks.

Anyone else know whats up with this?

Who were you trying to persuade to war? Some civs like the Elohim will almost never be bribed into war.

This is basic game logic and have nothing to do with ffh... The AI will not go to war against a civ for any number of reasons. We would have nothing to gain obviously means they could not possibly gain from the war/action proposed...

I'd also be careful with bribing AI to go to war, since they will often declare a cease fire after 10 turns.
