Hi,



I am relatively new to this game so am looking for possible explanations as to why this could be happening.



The AI in my latest saved game (from pre-shifters) is valuing 1 of his wine (he has 29) at 200+ dust. He values 1 of my gold (resource which he doesn't seem to have) at about 3 of his dust.

This seemed to get a lot worse after patch came in, could be my imagination though.



It's not just dust too. If I try to trade him 30 gold (so he can use booster) he wants 30 of about 6-7 resources I have in return (about 200 luxuries for his 30.)



Is there a reasonable explanation for this? Does the AI need minimum quantities in resources before it's willing to start trading them away at even semi-reasonable prices?



With the market often able to help out, the diplomatic trading just seems ridiculous at these ratios.



I am on pretty good terms with this AI.



Thanks,

Redfury

It's obviously a bug.



I'm going to guess here and say someone has been trying over the last several months to amp up the difficulty of the AI and eventually broke something with trading. Trading used to work as seen in several older videos. Currently, it's very buggy.



I believe several times now I've tried trading something like a million dust for a couple of techs only to be rejected by the AI. This can happen for techs and resources as well.



There are times where you can offer literally all the techs needed for a Scientific victory and the AI will say no despite the fact that you are asking for a measely Era V tech, one that isn't even very good.



So yeah, bummer.

Thanks for the reply. I hope this gets fixed with high priority. I am used to games like CIV where trading with the AI is a really important part of the game, and it seems like its designed to be a really important part of the game here too, just doesn't work properly.
