Bribing cities is usually not played in multiplayer. And bribing units is just ridiculous.

i concur, wholeheartedly.
it should be a checkbox somehwere (i just hope it isnt a bijillion checkboxes to start a game).
in multiplayer there is often a "NO BRIBING" pretense, which someone breaks during the game.
after all, when your losing there are no rules of war."I've lived too long with pain. I won't know who I am without it. We have to leave this place, I am almost happy here."

Depends on who you are bribing. If it is a well-disciplined army them it would be diificult, nay impossible, to subvert. If it is a rabble of malcontents it would be quite easy.
I've never understood the reasoning behind bribing cities.One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.

I think the whole bribing concept is a way of giving gold a bigger meaning in the game. Now that the armies are supported by gold it becomes invaluable thus the need of bribing, at least in the form it is now, is unnecessary.It's candy. Surely there are more important things the NAACP could be boycotting. If the candy were shaped like a burning cross or a black man made of regular chocolate being dragged behind a truck made of white chocolate I could understand the outrage and would share it. - Drosedars

i just hated stationing a large army in one of my cities, with city walls and great defenders, only to have an enemy AI bribe it (with the tons of cash they just got somehow), and then use my own tanks to destroy my settlers/engineers improving the terrain behind it.
i think (hope) the "enroaching culture" concept will replace the bribing thing.
or maybe really cultural cities cant be bribed? what about nationality?

Well I imagine that the higher you're culture rating is, the more money it costs to bribe a city. Or at least that's how it should be. There should be a way that you could offer a counter-bribe. Or maybe build some sort of security.I not only dream in colour, I dream in 32-bit colour.

I think if your culture rating is low than your cities should be able to be bribed more easily. Also the smaller your cities are the greater chance that they could be bribed. If bribing would work this way it would be another way too counter act ICS.However, it is difficult to believe that 2 times 2 does not equal 4; does that make it true? On the other hand, is it really so difficult simply to accept everything that one has been brought up on and that has gradually struck deep roots – what is considered truth in the circle of moreover, really comforts and elevates man? Is that more difficult than to strike new paths, fighting the habitual, experiencing the insecurity of independence and the frequent wavering of one’s feelings and even one’s conscience, proceeding often without any consolation, but ever with the eternal goal of the true, the beautiful, and the good? - F.N.
