Requests for war that don't make sense

[tommytoxen]

Is there a way to limit requests for war that don't make sense?

In my current game America keeps constantly harassing me asking me to join him in a war against Portugal.

The problem is, they're at the complete other side of the world across a vast ocean which I literally cannot get to. my units can't embark across oceans yet! And won't do for many turns. Otherwise I'd accept and gladly help him out.

I'm sure it's way much more complicated than this but isn't an algorithm possible where
if civ connected by sea || has astronomy technology then war request
else
if civ separated by ocean && not has astronomy technology then no war request

or at least stop making them spam the request every 10 turns or so -_- it just doesn't make sense

I've argued the whole thing is exploitable in general. If they're offering to pay you to go to war against someone that you can't even interact with... You should accept lol take the free gold for nothing. Which in my opinion is a little bit broken. Especially since the value can be completely absurd, Hundreds of gold per turn.
