Very strange AI diplomatic behavior

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

Egypt declares war, i move a Cavalry next to their only city, contact them. I tell them pay me or else, and Cleo offer this deal:

I say NO! and offer a deal to squeeze more out of them, as I always do! Result:

Why oh why is the deal they offered suddenly off????? I can leave the screnn, threaten them again and they offer it, again and again...... Somehow, the diplomacy programming is....... welllllll: strange, to say the least!

Fireaxis put as much effort into the Civ AI as they do into picking their brand of toilet paper.

Partly true. But it's worse than that. What they did also, besides all the sloppy parts, was to create an AI that does all it can to cheat and find illogical non-historical ways to screw the human.
