	Cheat for free cities Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

I just came across a fun way to cheat while your at war. I was playing as the babylonians on a standard map. I started a war against the Chinese and quicky crushed 5 of their 10 cities. After their beating they asked for a peace treaty. In return I asked for two cities. The accepted my terms. I recieved 2 cities with no resistors. The next turn I went to war and proceeded to crush the Chinese . . Anyways I probably would have lost 3 or 4 calvary attacking the cities I claimed in treaty. That would have completely changed the war.

I have a suggestion to prevent this unfair practice. When someone takes a city through diplomacy there should be a short 5-10 turn period where neither side can attack.

thats bad but its all i can think of

how would everyone else change it?

It's already countered by the bad diplo rating your getting. Back stabing and treachery are not looked to kindly upon by the AI.

The diplomatic hit is not that major. I would like it to be worse. It is a shame that it isn't worse. While I tend to honor agreements with the other civs, as long as they don't break, I have seen too many times where players break them with little problem.
