Pleased - yet 'Refuses to Talk'?

[BigChiefLizzy]

Anyone else seen this before, I'm playing as Pacal, Monarch level, standard size continents map.

We have been at peace the entire game, and due to a lot of bad land desert, etc I didn't bother to spread out much, so Hannibal who I share the continent with grabbed the land.

We've been friends for ages, both same religion (which I founded) to start with, and have both fought some common enemies. Most recently Roosevelt, who attacked me, then later on Hannibal invaded him with no prompting from me. Soon after he 'Refuses to talk' dispite the + bonus for a shared military struggle and 'We have good trade relations'

I wouldn't care but he has 2/3 of our continent, and Mao is well ahead on the other big land mass, so if hannibal starts on me now I am done for

Perhaps you accidentally stopped trading with him because Roosevelt or someone else demanded? I have this in my current game, where Ghandi refuses to talk to me because I stopped trading but I don't get any negative modifiers that tell me why he refuses to talk. Can be because I only had open borders with him that I don't get the "you stopped trading with us". But you probably had more then just open borders with Hannibal..?

You get the "refuses to talk" pop up for ludicrous amounts of time after trade relations are severed, even if it was forced on you by the Apostolic Palace. Could that have been the case in your game? Even if you said no to a resolution to stop trading with the civ, you'll get this happen unless you defy it.

Thanks for the answers, as said (by MyCynical) I think maybe a UN or AP palace vote caused it, (which I hadn't noticed) after a few more turns he would speak to me again.

But shortly after chinese nukes were hitting him... still good game, even if a loss
