Bug: Endlessly duplicate existing trades

[BlueLikeYou]

When you talk to another civ, you have the option of asking "what are our current trades?" This then shows you what each side is giving. If you click on one of the items, the central menu then changes to allow you to ask "will you accept this trade?" The AI agrees, and all your exisitng trading is duplicated.

Going back into the current trades option again, you'll see multiples of the resources/gold you are trading listed. It seems you can do this endlessly. And it doesn't appear to be simply listing them multiple times, it looks like they are real trades, as my 300-something gold per turn quickly became over 1000 gold per turn just doing this.

I take it that is a rhetorical question that you don't expect an answer too...

Actually, they seemed to have fixed the all gold for peace bug....only to introduce this one, that is much more serious IMHO.

(Posted this in GD --- seems to be dropping like a stone, guess we'll be the only ones to know about this bug...MP for real $$$ anyone..... )

I assume that this has been reported to Firaxis? (Makes you wonder what the play testers were doing all along ... sorry, but I can't help but feel that way).

I've tried this aswell, you can get away with the trade maybe once more. So, first trade and then dupe it once more. Otherwise they cancel on the next turn. you may be able to get some extra money/resources though.

Another diplomatic possible bug : if you keep
asking same arrogant demand over and over again,
your score keeps going down. I got -10 with 10 clicks
for an arrogant demand.

I see no bug in this. It's also annoying in real life, isn't it?

Heh that is nasty exploit and come in handy for team players esp. Im sure that will be fixed someday in the furture or already has on this newer stupid patch.

That not a bug, it is being stated that you has been pressing them too hard and never leave them alone! How would you feel if someone demand money from you everyday at school?

How is this abusable? The AI will cancel any excessive GPT deals (probably because it works both ways, in that he'll lose that much money). Maybe you can do this with resources to get mega-health/happy (I didn't test if it stacks) but the question of making it stick is still unanswered.
