Hello everyone,

this has most likely been reported as it concerns at least warlords 1.61 (i just downloaded the patch but havent installed it because i like to keep my mods working).

Settings: map had 4 continents, noble difficulty, aggressive ai, normal game speed, 8 ai's iirc.

This occurred at the endgame (1950-2050). I was at leat 30% over ai's on power graph, second in tech since MM had fiber opticts that was useless to me.

By selling world map every turn i was able to milk _all_ the money from lower ranking AI's (Brennus, Louis, Toku, Ramessess II, Chinese-not-mao one etc). If they would have 200 gp's i could just milk that by asking 20,30,40~ golds per time until they run out of money and they still think thats a fair trade! MM was only one refusing to do this, i suppose that was because he had tech lead. (Sorry, edit. Ramessess II also refused to have phun with me but that could also have been because of earlier difficulties in our trade relations ;) .I know that within the new patch AI does not give all its money for trade but..

This has probably been exploited already?

On a sidenote aggressive AI seems to do nothing on this low difficult setting.. at least i was very disappointed.

Edit. I was playing as Augustus/Rome for the first time.. Praetorians seem really overpowered to me, wiping out nearest AI (GB) with them was so eeeesy. Distance was only thing that saved U.S.A at the time ;). Exploiting this map later bug was boring.. i knew that i would win the game so i just held on and kept it going while buying upgradings for my my military. I wanted to watch AI's have wars between them but no such luck. Ramessess II(in fact, i think he was second on power and had Curys as his vassal (who was more than happy to give me all his gold for worthless WM) and his friends declared war to me at 2047, with having one city on the continent i had 1 barb captured supercity (with stack of about 20mechinf,20art., overwhelming navy since i was deploying my military there)..)
 
I assume you mean Warlords v2.0.....

And the selling of worthless maps is fixed in v2.08 I believe.
