Gpt vs lump sum

[Padma]

If you are giving gpt and they declare war then you get a rep hit for breaking a deal, right?

No, because *they* broke the deal by declaring war.

However, if you are giving gpt, and somebody else declares war, and breaks your trade route, you *will* get a Rep Hit.

Paying Tech via GPT will help the AI to research faster!
So, try to avoid to pay GPT to the Tech leader; use GPT to buy Tech from the second or third and resell the Tech the same turn.

The AI will always declare war to get out of a gpt deal if it finds it is unable to keep it. Often times this happens due to war losses with other AIs.
