Monarch Question

[D9phoenix]

i was playing a huge map max civ's under monarch with modded rules ( mostly combat units movements adjusted and airlift enabled settlers/workers/armies ).

My question is: It's the modern era, and i just broke Greece's back, I captured there capitol 4 times ( every time it shifted ) and i captured every core city they had. I just left them with 20 cities or so in crappy area's. Now why in the heck wouldn't they give me superconducter ( that was the only tech they had that i didn't, so i checked the other civ's and only 2 others had it).

Any idea why they wouldn't give that tech up ?? i tried i don't know 4 or 5 times to get them to give it to me before i finialy gave up and traded for it with another civ. Did they really think it was worth more then there lively hood ??

Sounds like you didn't beat them bad enough.

Are you nearby one of their cities with a large foce? It might help.

Alexander doesn't like to admit defeat in my experience. He would rather die with his pride intact

Well war doesn' make for a cozt relationship, you may have beaten the snot out of him buyt that doesn't mean he'll like you

I see this all the time, even when I've had civs down to two or three cities, they won't give up what I want.

I personally think it changed in the last patch. They used to give it all up a lot easier.

20 cities is a lot of cities...he is unlikely to give any concessions.

wohmongarinf00l: Well when i started the campagin he had over 50 cities And those 20 or so i left him where all tundra cities ( not worth the effort imo )

Jason Fox: I have noticed this also, i have several times gone to a AI civ with a large force outside there ONLY remaning city and they still refuse to pay up ...

like having 20 Cavalry + 20 infantry threatening their 2 Spearman + 1 Archer and they won't even give me Chivalry for peace

 

[Masquerouge]

Of course they won't give chivalry ! They've got TWO spearmen ! they could easily defeat 100 modern armors !

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

100? OK, i bring in the nukes

Well once I was playing Babylon, Persia had just one city left, but since it was defended by a spearman I stacked my 152 modern armor just nearby, and send a nuke to clean the way for my tanks. Guess what ? the nuke blew everything but the spearman REMAINED !
Of course the next turn the spearman jsut went over my pile of armors and crushed them to dust. I think it lost one HP, however, but I'm not sure because tears were blurrying my vision.
