what is the point of denouncing??

[SpearMan153]

It also silly to make peace with a civ and have them denounce you one or two turns later.

disagree with you there - kinda makes sense that they hate you, given you've just spanked them

of course it can amount to suicide for the ai in the long run since you're more likely war them again a 2nd time for the insult and this time finish the job...

I don't understand the AI actions.

So far I have had three wars. All three started by the AI. I crushed two of the AIs and left the other one mostly intact.

I agreed a declaration of friendship with Rameses and Bismarck. Oda (of Japan) attacked Ramases. I was ready to help but Rameses never asked. I did not want to start any war.

Eventually Bismarck denouced Oda and I also denounced Oda. Bismarck then declared war on Oda and asked me to join. I agreed however after 10 turns so i could get my army in poition.

I monitored the war carefully and neither of my friends lost any ground. I gave Rameses 1000 gold to help him fight Oda.

However the very next turn Rameses denouced me!!!

The reason given is "your friends found reason to denouce you", even though no else has denouced me.

What is going on?

unless there's a vital bit of info you're missing out that does actually sound like a bug. I still occasionally get DoF expiration notices from Civ's I never befriended - sounds like part of the same problem.
