Deal Cancelled: Peace Treaty (10turns)

[toft]

How can this happen when we have never engaged in any warfare?

 

[WJF]

This has happened to me a few times too with a Civ that I had never had any problems with/had a fight with. No saves to prove it though

It appears that certain trades/gifts result in a peace treaty. I know that if the AI demands a gift from you it results in a peace treaty. I am not sure exactly what transactions result in a peace treaty. This seems like a HUGE change that should have been noted if it is intentional. No more trade/demand and then attack.

 

[Hurin]

Exactly. Saw this happen yesterday.

If you made a demand that is accepted, you can't attack that civ for ten turns due to "peace treaty."

I would assume the same happens when you cave into a demand.

Makes sense of course. Otherwise, you can extort techs/money/resources from a civ, and then kill them anyways. Which, I guess wouldn't be unrealistic, but is sorta cheap.

Nope, I don't think so. I caved into a demand from another Civ only to have him declare war on me on the next turn.

 

[Zophos]

I've seen it happen exactly once - when I asked Ghandi to give me a tech for free, and he did. This was "Can you spare this for a good friend?" rather than a demand, in case it makes any difference.

 

[ainwood]

Saves? This can also happen when there is an enforced "no war against" apostolic palace resolution that expires, IIRC.

 

[CulleyS]

Yeah, I get this message in every single game. Even if I've never traded a tech or a good with other Civs. It usually happens in post-Classical eras.

 

[Todd Hawks]

Happens to me all the time. Whenever you give in to a demand/request, a 10 turn peace treaty comes into effect.

 

[Michael17J]

I get it every single game, too, and I've never had the Apostolic Palace thanks to Next War.

Actually this occurs when you:
accept open borders
accept any deal for gold/turn
accept any deal for resources
get a forced peace by AP/UN
make peace yourself
accept or make a demand

In fact they just wanted to make sure you can't extract some money from the AI and attack the next turn. This is fine but instead of dublicating the doPeace routine and calling another message they just call the same routine which prints out this Peace treaty message. Since it is not documented anywhere this just causes confusion.
So it is once again a good change by the programmers and a total lack of communication to the customers
