this some seriously stupid crap.
In my current game I'm playing the Mongols on emperor, and generally, I haven't been doing bad. But I started to wonder why other nations were wary about trading luxuries with me. Everything else didn't seem to be a problem.
Once upon a time, I was trading with Spain (some time ago in terms of the game), and my nearest neighbors, the big bad Zulus, decided it was time to ask me for a little tribute. Well, I told the to go f*** themselves and proceeded to take several of their cities and raze several more.
All the while, I'm not thinking I've done anything wrong. After all, they declared war on me . But apparently, they were my only way of trading with Spain and as the lines of trade were severed during the war, I was slapped with a bad reputation for something I had no part in.
This is a flaw in the game. The 20 turn trade deal shouldn't be hardcoded anyway, but since it is, reputation hits should be reconfigured around the notion of whether or not I had any control in the matter.
Come on, firaxis! I wasting literally hours of time here trying to play a straight game, not step on any toes I don't mean to step on, and you've got it programmed to hate me for things I can't help. Stupid!
