Sometimes I "give in" to a demand simply because whenever you give or ask for tribute, the game forces a 10 turn peace treaty on both sides.
So, if I'm not ready for war, or, perhaps, I know Monty is at war with my buddy and he's doing okay so I know he's not going to get creamed and -- with apologies to Michael Vick and all that but I don't have a dog in that fight -- so I don't want my buddy to ask me to join the war against Monty because I'll then have to say yes or suffer a negative diplo with my buddy.... by saying yes I get a +1 with Monty AND I don't suffer a -1 with my buddy.
