I agree with Troj here that the 99 turn non-agression pact should be breakable, with severe diplomatic penalties of course. I'm not sure how the AI is looking at things, but there should be a trust factor or something that affects relations. Obviously Empires trust other Empires, Kingdoms other Kingdoms, etc. but all of that should be modified by how trustworthy the player/AI is acting. I do remember some level of frustration in EWOM where I agreed to one of those things and then was like

[quote who="Vallu751" reply="30" id="3046053"]Quoting Grizzyloins, reply 7 I would like to play on higher difficulties but want it to be that they have an extra node/gold mine/iron mine/ food resources/ lvl 2 techs starting off There's a catch to that.

If Brad gets a pony before Lord Xia there'll be real heck to pay.[/quote] Xia does in fact expect the pony from Brad, which would imply Brad would have pony first. Maybe Toby or Derek will give Xia a pony thereby solving this conundrum.

[quote who="Leauki" reply="723" id="3043785"]Quoting GW Swicord, reply 718Radicals won't make peace with Israel? Israel is a radical project in its own right, and the right-wing nutbars there (yes, I mean Bebe's crowd) are just as much to blame for the endless cycle of violence as the Hezbollah or PLO militants are. The failure of the efforts to achieve peace belong squarely at the feet of everyone who is in denial of the need for a two-state solution. How is Bibi res
