I had a weird experience with diplomacy, and I'm unsure if it is something from vanilla or from VP.
I'd been in a defense pact with Assyria for most of the game; also in one with the Iroquois for a spell. When the pacts got activated, I didn't hold back, and fought full-force for my allies. I think maybe this made me an attractive partner for other civs; Russia asked for a defense pact, while I was still in one with Assyria. I thought, sure, Catherine was offering some gold along with it, maybe it will make Shaka think twice before attacking me.
Literally the very next turn, Russia declared war on Assyria, not only cancelling our new pact but now putting us at war. Why would Russia ask for a defense pact with me if I was already in a defense pact with a civ they were going to declare war on the next turn?
Not a bug, really, just an AI quirk that makes no sense, and I'm not even sure something that can be changed.
