If this is a known cheat or bug, please forgive me. Also, if you have absolutely no self-control and don't want to know how to rip off the AI, then read no further, but this is how it goes. I was so surprised I had to try it again and again.
Declare war on another civ.
Wait ten turns or so until they are ready to talk peace.
Click on them to start a dialogue.
Tell then you want to propose a deal.
Click on all their cities, all their techs, their whole bank account, and you are only offering Cease Fire.
They will refuse your deal.
Click on What would make this deal work?
This will open a dialogue-box telling you that you cannot negotiate this way or something like that
BUT
The action screen right there in the middle now has the option for We accept your offer. All those things you demanded are still on the table! By all means, accept the offer. Voila! You get all his cities (except his capital), all his techs, whatever you asked for.
How does this happen? Did he get confused? What happened?
Of course, the cities are immediately emptied of all military units, so you have to be prepared to rush in some defenders quickly (within ten turns, remember) because he'll still be really Furious with you. To say the least!
 
I think I got the latest patch. 1.61 or something like that.

Anyways, I think I know a bug too. Happened twice already. I formed a permanent alliance with someone. Then, for some reason, they can finish any tech they want in 1 turn. Any tech. So of course I tell them to go for the most expensive tech :P

No idea why this happens. Happened twice though... in diff games.
 
That wouldn't be tempting at all. As a matter of fact, oh don't care wether or not this was fixed as I won't be attempting it. Go Broncos!!!

I don't thinks it works anymore.. I have patch v1.61
First of all, when you ask for a tech/city or gold, then you cannot offer only cease fire. You should offer peace treaty then. + When I try this way, andf they refuse, there's no option of "What would make this deal work..." Only to say goodbye, or change your offer.
