Tribute

from Elemental Forums

I believe there are a couple of issues with the Tribute system.   First,  If I demand tribute and the opposing faction has negative revenue I am actually paying a fee according to my economy screen as my income is reduced by 10% of their negative revenue.   It seems if they have no revenue my share should be 0 rather than an actual negative amount.

Also, when opposing factions offer me  tribute and give me gildar up front I end up paying them a tribute rather than receiving it.

Yeah, I've noticed this too. Definately a bug.

Still happens in 1.12 and is infuriating when you have beaten an enemy into almost nothing and they try to get you on side with a tribute... and you end up paying them 10 percent of your income.

I have learned in elemental to ignore all proposed trades that the AI sends, since the AI reflects extremely poorly what is going to happen.
