Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

I suspect some of the game's code, in attempting to prevent the AI from being exploited, interferes with "gratiutious" trades. Trades that are neutral - or even good - but "odd" generally seem to get rejected.

One time I wanted to trade techs, and it was going to be a good deal acording tot he adviser. However, in order to make better relations with that civ (I think it was egypt, which was cautious towards me) I gave an extra 50 gold into the deal. It turns out cleo didn't like THAT deal. Weird.

That happens more often than you think. I often try to offer more gold 1st & then remove a resource or tech they want. Cleo & others don't like the deal once I only add gold to the offer before I change anything else.

Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Yeah I noticed that too. Sometimes it is just really annoying. And they never accept a city from me as part of a trade...EVER!
