I am currently playing a game on regent as the Spanish. After a few turns I realized I was pretty far behind in techs. Since it was still early game (late ancient ages) I really can't bully anyone just yet.
Anyway, no one wants to budge in trading techs with me. Finally the Russians (who are in a island Far FAR away) agree to give me around 5 techs for an extreme amount of GPT ....around 20 or so...which is a lot at that time.
After the first turn I declared war on Russia so I can get the techs and not pay the GPT.....Russia is to far to be any threat; so all that lady can do is give me mean looks for now. Well now, many years later no one will trade with me. I even gave some civs gifts such as free luxuries or GPT....still none will trade with me even if they are 'polite' to me.
Will these gifts get my rep back up...or am I a loner the rest of the game.
Currently I am in second place (by only 2 score points), the only world power (about 35% of the histograph), culture is even higher (about 50%). The only problem is that people are not too happy b/c of the war I just ended with Germany.
Thanks in advance.
