Are trade treaties overpowered?

from Elemental Forums

The issue with trade treaties is that bonus only depends from player power, and not the other party.

If player already has good economy, getting treaties with pretty much everyone (including minor factions) will give big boost to income.

In my current game (1.07), I get about 170gp/turn from buildings and whooping 150gp/turn from treaties with 6 major and 2 minor factions.

I think this is good. With the nerf of monster gold farming, we need alternate ways to get gold and drive the war machine.

I agree with OP.  I can get a treaty with snathi when I make 4/turn and they make 0.4/turn?   The minor factions don't do anything!   Why would they even accept that?

 

Unless the AI is doing the exact same thing, exploring, meeting new factions and making treaties it will eventually get ridiculous.   I make 5 treaties where I get 5tech/turn and they get 1/turn - I'm making 25 compared to each of them having 1.   Game broken right there.
