Just observing as I go along...
In the vanilla-CivIII game, the AI was often
willing to give up cities in exchange for peace
and some incentive (like tech or gold), even
if the threat of war (when renegotiating peace)
or the war itself didn't hurt it much.
But NOW, in C3C, it seems every time I try to
pry a city from it's hands, it just won't go for it.
Not that I'm complaining, it shouldn't be so easy to
get cities anyway.
But here's something strange, in the diplomacy
stage, when I go to negotiate for peace,
and I ask for one (or more) of their cities with only
peace in return, I get my adviser telling me things
ranging from "we're getting close to a deal here" to
"they will probably be insulted by this deal".
These advices used to mean that if I threw enough
techs and/or gold in, I'd get the deal.
However, as soon as I add anything to the deal,
my advisor goes in "they would NEVER accept
such a deal".
I even tried offering all my gold, techs, maps and
CITIES to the AI + peace, and they still
"would never go for such a deal"
OTOH, if I've been completely thrashing the AI,
I can get some cities JUST for peace, but add
anything else on my side, and it's no-go again.
