Deal AI is still hilariously nonsensical for me on the latest release. Haggling with the AI is a huge chore and trying to get the maximum amount of gold from them without feeling like I'm exploiting them just tends to produce stupid results.
Example:
- Put out luxury.
- Ask what they will give you for it.
- "We are not open to your offer at this time."
- Add 3 GPT FOR them.
- "The deal will work as it stands on the table."
- Change the 3 GPT to 2 GPT.
- "You are mad!"
- Wipe the table and try again, adding the same luxury.
- Add 6 GPT instead of 3 GPT.
- "The deal will work as it stands on the table."
- Change 6 GPT back down to the 3 GPT earlier agreed upon, because maybe the AI is just confused.
- "No."
- Change the 3 GPT to 7 GPT, because maybe it likes to be stupid.
- "Certainly."
This ridiculousness goes on endlessly. I really have no other way to express the sporadic nature of the AI for trading. It gives me a headache, and now I simply don't want to play. Here's one more silly example for you guys.
William: "We have both benefited greatly from this deal! Would you like to renew it?"
(My crab for his 3 GPT.)
- Take the crab off the table and put it back on.
- Ask what will make this work.
- "We both know you can do better than that."
Just, no, I'm done.
