We've already signed a treaty with the Austrians that we would not violate their borders, we've given them 100 Gold and made a successfull map-exchange treaty. Overall, we should be fairly friendly to us, for the time being.
Should we offer a peace treaty to them, to strengthen our relationship (or to at least give them that impression)? And if so, what should we ask in return (if anything) and should we threaten them if they refuse?
The advantage of a peace treaty is that our ties will be closer, trust and regard will considerably improve and they'll be less likely to attack us. The disadvantage is that it will cost a lot of trust and regard if we attack them while we have such a treaty (and such a treaty is permanent). If we do so without declaring war in advance, our trust and regard towards other AIs will suffer considerably as well. Of course, this won't happen if they declare war on us, but there's no guarantee that we can provoke them.
Note that although we have already agreed to withdraw ourselves, we have a unit inside their territory, which might make them more receptive than usual to accept such an offer for the 2nd time.
Note also that we don't have much gold, so offering more than 100 Gold is not a realistic options. Offering less is not possible of course.
This poll will last 3 days (until Friday ~8:00 GMT), but the turn-chat is already tomorrow, so I will probably have to act on it sooner (~36 hours from now). So please vote ASAP.

. If we rush into Austria, we may be the first to die.
