[bug 1.06] negative gold not handled well

from Elemental Forums

Playing on Easy...  One empire I went to war with had -30k gold and an army that looks like it cost the full 30k.  So I entered peace treaty and negative gold into the trade menu.  He accepted it, he now has max int -30k (2 billion and change) and I'm at negative max int + 30k (-2 billion and change.)

1) I really doubt AIs should be cheating so much on easy as to go -30k gold.
2) Given what happened when you trade at negative 30k gold I doubt the game ever took into account it would be possible to do so.

I'm experiencing this problem as well. I just got my ass handed to me by a computer opponent that was well into the -30K range, she sent stack after stack after stack after stack (I beat back 8 stacks before succumbing to the 9th) of expensive ass units.

I have also noticed the AI fielding many units and aquiring negative gold. Maybe they are not able to afford the maintenance? I don't know if that affects them negatively or if they just cheat in regards to gold.

personally i find that easy mode still seems like the computer kicks some stupid butt.
