	reputation? Enter the AD-FREE zone

does bribing units from a civ you're not at war with hurt your reputation?
what about insisting they withdraw their units?
and moving units into their cityradius?
and expeling diplomats?

I'm in a game right now where i never broke a peace or cease fire but my rep is questionable.
not that this is a problem ... you should see what a veteran fighter does to archers, phalanxes and warriors

My experience is that bribing does harm your reputation when not at war. I used to bribe like mad (until I got better at managing an attack) but always ended up "Honorable" (sic).

Insisting on withdrawal of troops affects that Civ's attitude to you. At Deity, you lose a point e.g Cordial to Neutral.

Prolonged moving into radius gets them angry with you, again, attitude not rep.

I do not believe that expelling diplomats affects anything, and I love the buzz noise.

If you accept money or tech to declare war on anybody or cancel an alliance, your reputation will go down. Your allies will demand war, which means you lose the alliance or get your reputation hurt. Trespassing can result in reputation loss unless you agree to withdraw your troops when they complain. Insisting on unit withdrawl is a perfectly legitimate and peaceful thing to do. It's also a good way to goad them into war while keeping that spotless reputation.

Bribing unbits and suberting cities can be done with impunity.

I think that the only reason that the reputation was programmed was to give you an incentive to build Eifel Tower. For me, the rep only is always at the low end.

It seems like the worse your reputation is, the quicker the ai will be to form alliances and attack you.

Hi!

Have you ever noticed that if you ask them to leave your territory (no matter if they are there or not) and they declare war that if YOU attack before they did, their allies will declare war to you? I hated that... nobody forced them to do that!

And another thing.
I hate A-Bombs!
And I found a way to avoid them but I'm not sure if this really works or if it was luck. Once I had a perfect reputation and I didn't start building the manhatten project... and to my surprise the others didn't start it too. Then one of my spy's was captured what caused a minimal loss of reputation and in the same turn 2 civs started building the manhatten project. So was this just luck or is this really a feature?

recently playing tot, i bulit the eiffel tower and UN, hoping these would make the ai more reasonable.. it did to an extent, and i noticed something else.. my allies were always asking me to go to war with the chinese or french, shortly after which i signed a peace treaty with them.. but usually, when you accept your allies demands to declare war, it hurts your reputation. well i was still on 'spotless' at then end of the game, and it looked like the eiffel tower was stopping my reputation hits. anyone else seen this 'effect'???
