I couldn't find a thread...has anyone figured out which factors can affect the prices the AI wants for luxury trades?
I feel like it can change dramatically sometimes, but I don't know why. Relationship is a part of it, but not the whole equation right? I have definitely had AI with bad relationship (denounced even) give me a far better price than a close friend.
Also it seems like it changes a lot. Sometimes an AI will want like 40 or 50 gold per turn, but then you try again in a few turns and it's dropped to something much more reasonable. What gives? Is there some model of supply/demand affecting the price? I feel like maybe they are cheaper when you don't need them as much (amenity wise), but I have no evidence to support that.
