Are you trying to tell me something?

This is not an exclusive SS issue, rather something that has to do with basic M2TW engine, even all TW games I have played. Every now and then while watching the AI moves, an AI diplomat or princess will walk up to one of my cities and the animation of him approaching me (the little bow) would appear. Still, the diplomatic screen would not open. It's like the little guy is trying to tell me something, but just fails. What's behind this behavior? Could this be one of the reasons for random warmongering on the account of the AI, he made an offer that didn't get through to me so he attacks?

Im 90% sure it's them trying to bribe your cities, so its a good way of telling if a nation will attack you.

Both statements are false - it's a bug that causes the diplomacy screen not to open.

As this behaviour stayed with the engine from RTW to M2TW my guess would be no, or not within the limits of the EULA.

Yea bane_tw is right. Its a RTW leftover.
If you had a full advice in RTW you would hear the advisor saying "When a diplomat offers you something but you get no message prepare for an asault"...
