Possible bribe bug: DoW vs. OB request

[Txurce]

I've noticed for a while now that, if an AI doesn't like another AI, and I offer anything - OB, even - I sometimes get the DoW I requested, plus an insane amount of gold. Has anyone else encountered this? And would it be a vanilla bug?

This is a problem someone told me about in a message a week or two ago. I'm not really sure why, but the AI always accepts any DoW trade deal. Could you try this out in vanilla to see what happens?

I will try it out in vanilla... but the AI does not accept any trade deal. I have narrowed it down to AI harboring aggressive thoughts - which is really interesting.

Hi,

I've actually noticed this bug in a few previous versions, but just hadn't found the time to come here and report it.

When this mod is enabled, the computer (90% of the time) will declare war on another player if I offer it to them in the trade screen with nothing in exchange. If I ask them from the discussion screen to declare war, they will refuse. If I offer them a luxury, gold, etc, they will refuse.

Here is an example from a current game: Incans declare war on me. I go to everyone and ask them to declare war on the Incans. Everyone refuses from the Discuss screen. I offer several luxuries, gold, and GPT to all Civs they still refuse. I then offer nothing in exchange for them declaring war, and all Civs except for 1 (Babylon) agree and declare war on the Incans.

Try this in your games and see if you can get it to replicate. It's got to be a bug.

Thanks, I didn't know this tread existed. I tried this out in vanilla, and it does not happen. I haven't tried it with any other mods, though I think it might be isolated to this mod.

This is a difficult problem to solve because I haven't changed anything about the trade screen. The work done there is with other people's mods, like Attila's mod that show turns remaining on trade deals.

Basically this means I don't have a clue what might cause this. I'll put it at the top of my priorities.
