How to send a counter-offer when an AI civilization initiates a trade
Samatar Jama Barre would really, really like to trade me for some Firaxite. So, he's sent a couple trade requests seeking 1 Firaxite for 90 turns in exchange for a favor. I'm not particularly enamored by this offer and would like to negotiate a counter offer.
It appears that my only two options are to accept or refuse. Refusing appears to end the trade negotiations with the only choice left to make is determining how insulting my parting words should be. How can I make a counter offer instead?
Best Answer
I have experienced two different situations when an AI initiates a trade:
- The trade screen does not include any of the typical content (energy, science, resources, favors, etc) and the only options are accept and refuse. In this scenario, you have no opportunity to change the deal. This typically includes the AI proposing a favor in exchange for something, but not always. If you accept this type of deal, you will get a diplomatic boost with that AI. As far as I know, if you refuse, you do not receive a penalty. (Please correct me if that is wrong.)
- The trade screen does include the typical content. In this case, you can tweak things to your liking and even change the offer entirely. In this case, the AI is simply offering you a trade. Just like with human opponents, you can modify the deal and send it back.
