Questions about ruins and caravans

For SHAME! And you, the Instigator!!

I think the ideas in there mostly hold true for the unmodded game as well. Give lots of presents often, they'll start liking you eventually... (conquering one or two opponents also helps - improves your position on the power ranking).

Even more so than for the modded game, where the Frenzied AIs are a bit reluctant to deal with disgusting humans. What tendency to gang up???

Heh, I still have 2 weeks!

Ben, that diplomacy you're having difficulties with, that doesn't happen to be for the Tournament game, would it? If so, negotiation with French, Inca and Portuguese won't be easy, they are all Aggressive Imperialists, it takes a *LOT* of patience to even get a non-tresspassing agreement with them, let alone a peace treaty or alliance. With a lot of patience you might be able to get an alliance with one of them, but trying to get all three of them to sign an alliance would be a futile enterprise... (I ended up conquering all three of them myself.)

French and English in the Tourney, yeah. The english I seemed to be winning over eventually, but the French were just eating my gold for breakfast.
