How can I work my way back into a good relationship from being denounced? - Unrecognizable persons walking on white sand

So far almost everything has gone wrong with one particular nation. Is there any hope? I trade and have religious influence with all of their cities.

By almost everything I mean:

  • I built wonders that they coveted
  • I asked them not to spy on me (after catching them numerous times)
  • They covet lands that I currently own
  • I demanded that they not settle near my lands
  • I have denounced them (after catching them the 2nd time spying on me)
  • They have dounced me

We have never gone to war though I think that may soon be coming. Is there anyway to fix this relationship? It is making me a lot of gold with all the trade routes.



Best Answer

AI Civilizations tend to hate their nearby neighbours, this is particularly true for "coveting your land".

Generally speaking, if they have similar goals to you, and they are far away, they will end up liking you. Your nearest neighbours will end up hating you no matter what your goals are however.

How badly do you want them to be your friend?

Ultimately one of the most drastic ways of gaining their trust, is to move your empire away from there, relocate elsewhere, and then give up any cities near them. If you are near to them, they are going to hate you. The only way to realistically change this to to move away from them.

If you have BNW then putting diplomats in their territory can help as well.

Possibly the best way to get the allegiance of an AI Civilization is to fund a war effort against it. Don't capture any cities yourself, but help other Civilizations to take them out. Once your AI Civilization is completely eliminated from the game, go and take one of their old cities, and then re-instate them back into the game. This will make them love you, no matter how they felt about you before.


To be honest, if I ever go for world peace, I usually find I need to take out a few nearby neighbours to achieve this. Its easier to wipe out your neighbours and then try to seek peace with everyone else than it is to befriend neighbours in my experience.
