A faction is sieging you, a princess from that faction rocks up and offers not to attack you if you pay florins. You pay. She is elated. They attack you on the same turn.

It's just not cricket.

send an assassin and deal with the woman.

**AngryTitusPullo** · November 22, 2007, 10:57 PM

I always send assasins after princess who dared to refuse my marriage offer...

**Bluice** · November 22, 2007, 11:12 PM

Which faction were you? and which faction are they?

**kevincompton** · November 23, 2007, 12:46 AM

Maker a rumor saying you and the princess did naughty things in the bed room and you will tell the world. The other faction will most certinaly back down.

**Yogol** · November 23, 2007, 05:22 AM

Yes, that happens : the AI totally ignoring that you paid him.

If it's on the same turn, it's bad (even your soldiers won't get a hit that turn from the siege).
But if he attacks on the next turn, you can use that one turn to retrain your armies and send in some new ones...

Its a problem with the diplomacy AI and Military AI being separate entities. I dont think they know what the other has done till the next turn.

In empires I belive this has been changed.

**Erwin Rommel** · November 23, 2007, 05:55 AM

alls fair in war!!!

**loquar** · November 23, 2007, 08:16 AM

Oh come on... you mean you havent done that to an AI opponent?

I certainly have

and much much worse...

**Bob The Fearless** · November 23, 2007, 09:23 AM

That's just typical of large organisations isn't it.

I bet the Diplomatic AI and then Military AI even have a desk next to each other but don't bother to talk. Lets face they are both at work at the same time

.

Look on the bright side Sherbs, hopefully there inter-factor relations will of dropped.

**sherbs** · November 24, 2007, 08:58 AM

Which faction were you? and which faction are they?

I'm England, she was HRE.

Certainly not! Us Brits don't do that sort of thing.

O_o I'm a brit too

I am guessing you would be a brit with high chivalry and I would be a brit with high dread

Theoretically, that faction should get a lower reliability rate in diplomacy, making it harder for them to ally with other factions and to get trade rights. This should make it harder for them to survive and thrive. Or is my understanding of theory insufficient?

Doesn't that happen? Since you get higher rep when your allied with people and so on, well over long term. Maybe a little hard to tell tough. I sertainly agree with you.

I believe so, but at the same time, the AI armies are programmed to go after the human player more often then each other, especially when the human player is doing relatively well... so that might somewhat negate (at least from the players perspective) any bad relations between the AI factions.
