This is a continuation of a pet peeve, Treaties may be worrking as designed, I regard them as deeply flawed
This is my second tribute session with Yithril. If you take a look at the map I hope you agrree with my thinking
This is on challenging. In fact Looking at the map the AI doesnt seem to be doing much of anything, certainly there is no pioneer spam
Yitril has two settlments, Gilden one. The later is close to a fairly wiild area and I suspect the M&R chopped theri early efforts up pretty good.
Yithril has taken out a Wildland, but doesnt seem to know what to do with it -
Soo Tribute, which SHOULD have about 16 turns tp go is keeping them off my back whilel I - Help Gilden in the west
The tribute does not show up on the foreiegn relations screen - But if you talk to verga it is still in place
Take a look at C-Charlie to the east, turns out my buffer zone is flawed as I have neutral ground within one tile of the city.
PS I am about to fix this.
Sooo, If you play a couple of turns,
1 expect a declaration of war from Verga, and when that happens lok at the above mentioned C-Charlie
well soooprize, soooprize you'll find the mother of all Civ monster stacks in the dead ground .
PSS I loved CIV and CIVII, and hated III and IV for the monsterstack, everyone and their cat in the same dog-pile.
