Diplomacy.txt broken?

[insydr]

I was reading the diplomacy.txt in the /text directory (Civ/PTW/Conquests, doesn't matter, they're all the same), and I noticed there are ALOT of really funny and cool lines in there that I never ever EVER see when playing the game.

Instead of using all those unique lines, the AI always repeats the same boring few phrases over and over. What gives?

Welcome to CFC!

Some of the lines are quite specific; I'm not sure what all the conditions for determining which lines are used are. I do know that attitude is a factor, I think technology level is a factor, and some specific civs have specific lines. For example, I usually don't see the gracious lines (probably my lack of culture leading to raze and replace would be the major reason).

Yea I read the description of what all the flags and conditions are, but even though alot of the lines are specific to certain civs/attitudes/etc, I'm still surprised that I've hardly seen any of them used in the game. I honestly read a few pages of the diplomacy.txt and didn't recognize any of it!

Same here. I guess it's good, though, so you hear something new every now and then.

So is there any way to make them use more of their dialogue options?
