Ran into a state in my main game where the Refuse Demands button is disabled despite appearing that it should be an option. After troubleshooting with loading autosaves and trying different things with a helpful gameplay expert in the Discord forum, found that if we create any new demands TO the other empire in diplomacy, the Refuse Demands button for THAT EMPIRE's demands then immediately becomes enabled (same turn, same War Support, no other transactions, literally within the same Diplomacy screen interactions). 

Unless there's some really obscure gameplay reason why creating demands then allows refusing the OTHER empire's demands, seems like there should be no game logic reason for this other than a confirmed bug?

• Title: [PC/Game Pass] Refuse Demands button disabled in Diplomacy until a new demand is created
• Description: Can't Refuse Demands FROM an empire until creating new demands TO that empire
• Attachments: Screen capture, Saved Games (loading previous also demonstrate same disabled Refuse Demands button state since the demands were made)
• Steps to Reproduce: 1. Load this save game, 2. Engage in diplomacy with Myceneans and try to refuse their demands; exact steps for creating the state on a new game unknown
• Expected Behavior: The Refuse Demands button should be enabled even without creating new demands to that empire

I made both cloud and local saves where this bug is 100% reproducible but I am struggling to find them :( Both my Humankind folder under ...\Documents\Humankind and ...\AppData\LocalLow\AMPLITUDE Studios\Humankind are missing saved games and coming up blank after searches and asking for help on Discord, can someone help me locate my saved games to finish documenting this bug report?

I have a very similar issue.  I was allied to the Edo-Japanese.  Turn X. I had the opportunity to demand they chance their religion, but I "recounted that demand", I sacked a building of my own (not sure that played a part as it was not on a trade node).  Turn X+1.  "Violence has destroyed a few, but temporarily suspended the rest of our trades.  He had a grievance that he did NOT press for "stopping our trade agreement for ebony" (ebony is on a different island far from the building I destroyed).  He also made a Demand to pay him 2400 gold, but it doesn't list a reason and I cannot refuse, I can only pay him.  This sucks as we have been allies and he has tons of resources and 30% hostility/affinity on the turn he has made the demand.  Kinda game-breaking bug that needs addressed as I know he will soon be at 100% and nothing I can do about it.

I think there are bugs going on with at least their "sacking of your own buildings", as in something always goes wonky when you "ransack your own building"... I think that ability needs to be on a completely seperate button and set of conditions as this is just another wonky outcome.  Here is another example from earlier in the same game .... I took over a random civs civilization and destroyed a building he had built.  I got the (2nd level tag) Thief and it was my OWN BUILDING.
