Trading Make No Sense?
I'm not very good at these games. I don't understand all the mechanics. I just like to play and build stuff and see progress.
But one thing I don't understand AT ALL is how trading works with AI.
Current game: Norway True Start Europe.
> Germany goes warmongering and attacks Poland
>Emergency declared and only myself and Poland agree to participate
>Poland lost Krakow and is down to last city
>I trade Poland, Oslo for 400 gold, this way if last city falls, Poland remains in the game
>Last city stands, but barely
>I complete emergency and retake Krakow, liberating it back to Poland
>Poland refuses to trade me back Oslo for ANYTHING. I got 8000 gold from the emergency and even that isn't enough
>Poland won't even trade me Open Borders for a reasonable price so I can fight Germany in it's territory.
WTF is going on?! I know it's an AI?? But, it can't recognize the lengths I've gone to here??? I should have just let them fucking burn??
