I've noticed that there are a number of random events I get in the game that have grayed out options. Sometimes, there's a reason given for this in the mouse-over, and that makes perfect sense (ie, the "Heartrending Ballad" has an option that requires you to have the Radio technology).
However, there are other events that have unavailable options for reasons that I can't discern. For instance:
I just had an event pop up in my current game, stating "A Babylonian spy is operating on a high level in our government! What should we do?" There are three available options;
1) Release the spy after questioning (gain +2 relations and some espionage points vs Babylon)
2) Bribe the spy (costs gold, get fewer espionage points vs Babylon than option 1, gain Great Spy).
3) Consider it an act of war (gain happiness in some cities, some free unit upkeep, gain 9 free tanks, and enter a state of war). However, this third option has the button grayed out, and I can't choose it.
Babylon is a colonial vassal of Gilgamesh, and I was at war with both nations in the not-so-distant past; though the 10 turn peace treaty has expired multiple turns ago. (As a somewhat interesting side note, Babylon was actually created as a colony in the original homeland of Gilgamesh, with Uruk as their capital).
Is there some reason that I can't choose the third option? It sounds as though it counts as them declaring war on me. Since they're still a colonial vassal, is that impossible for them to do, thus rendering the option unavailable?
