"Peace in our time": The downside to AI appeasement

yep

I've noticed them asking for more gold if you have more gold as well.

In a way, this can be used slightly to your advantage if you're flat broke. Because offering YOUR ENTIRE TREASURY of 8 gold may actually get you some traction in negotiations.

hm
i noticed that appeasement with persians worked
plus i saw horde of barbarians approaching my undefended city so i gave persians almost 70% of my gold (that would be lost anyway) so they were gracious for many turns. appeasement works sometimes
