AOM3 Paying to decrease frenzy

[Changmai Beagle]

I;m running with 12 civilizations and the payments I make (say 2000 to 4000 in a turn) don't seem to move the frenzy number down. How much would I have to spend to get a measurable result?

It now takes 2500 gold to reduce frenzy by 1 in diplomacy gifts, has worked every time I have used it.

The second option is in tribute. Click on any frendly ai city (that is not a capital) and you can pay tribute to that AI (only one at a time). Tribute costs 2000 gold per turn, reduces frienzy, increases regard and trust and there is, I think a bonus chance of 33% of getting a double effect, i.e. another frenzy point and more regard and trust. Runs for 10 turns and you can click on the King button to see how long it has to run.
