"Will not betray ally for gold"

Posted: 22 Feb 2022 03:52 PM PST

Half rant, half funny observation. Look, I get that it's for balancing purposes. I get that it's supposed to prevent you from paying off countries when you go to war. But sometimes this mechanic is downright absurd.

I'm sitting here in 1721 as Persia with the world's largest economy by far and I have so much money I can just throw it at people for fun. I regularly subsidize wars for no reason because I just wanna see someone win. And so I'm sitting here at war with Delhi, unable to peace them out because their ally Brunei, who I can't reach, is refusing to peace out. And I'm wondering, "well why don't I pay them off?" So I send them as much money as possible (almost 14,000 ducats in one peace deal), something that literally ANY sane person would take in exchange for betraying an ally that's on death's door anyways, only to see the "-1000: Will not betray ally for gold" modifier.

Seriously? You're gonna decline fourteen thousand ducats for your ally who's gonna die in 5 years anyways? I did the math - that's twenty-one years of income. That's enough money to build manufactories in every one of their provinces at least twice over. (I know the AI doesn't usually build buildings, but still.)

I checked some other countries I was at war with to see if I could peace them out, too - all of them said no because of "will not betray ally for gold." I did the math for Songhai, too - they make 17 ducats a month. If I sent them 14,000 ducats to peace out, it would be equal to SIXTY ONE years of income. I feel like Mansa Musa - maybe that's why they won't accept?

Again, I know it's balancing behavior. It'd be too easy to peace people out individually and snowball. I just think it's kinda hilarious (and also mildly annoying at times) to see the AI do stuff like this.
