Thanks, Smash, I'll try that. What AI attitude do you normally expect in MGE OCC games -- better than 'uncooperative', or do you just live with that?

yes and no.Keep an eye on it.Try to gift them before they reach "hostile".Relations breakdown very quickly in MGE.Worshipful>Enraged can happen in 3 or 4 turns.Its a balancing act.Not a bad plan to spend some of your gold before contacting hostile or warring civs.That way they will demand tech instead of gold and you can "buy" peace by doing the tech gifting you want to do anyway.

Thanks again for your helpful advice. I can see I'll need to develop much more of a habit of checking up on foreign relations than I have in the past!
