As the Greeks I'm losing a long, drawn-out defensive war with my next door neighbors, the Carthags, who ... (well, he's started the U.N., and I am trying to get corporation). His tanks, bombers and battleships vs. my infantry, guerillas, artillery and occasional ironclad.

I'm finally changing governments, and I ask (no, BEG) Lincoln for Communism in exchange for World Map. I've got a negative cash flow out the kazoo and nothing to offer.

Abe's response is "This offer seems to be a bit one-sided, Alexander. Well, a LOT one-sided, actually. We decline, with thanks."

First extended defensive war I have played in quite some time. The bombardment graphic effects (battle animations ON) in PTW are fun, effective and informative. The AI strategy of terrain improvement bombardment actually takes effect after awhile, disrupting communications, etc.

They seem to hold communism as sacrosanct and do not like to give it up cheaply. I guess that is fair as Police Stations are useful.

Lincoln once scaled a bluff of mine with this stupid quote:

"With friends like you, who needs enemies? We decline"

Xerses also scaled a bluff, saying:

"The jackal does not dictate terms to the lion. We refuse your squalid demands"

This is a second response and is actually an improvement over the previous offer.

If he had asked what he would accept for communisim he would have gotten a response of " I don't see how we can wrok this out" or something to that effect. In short he has nothing to offer the AI that the AI will accept.

	Peace in Our Time -- NOT! Full PM-box? Change here!

Japan and Carthage are warring on me. Carthage is bearing the brunt of the offensive, with Japan basically providing bombardment support (battleships).

Japan offers Peace for all my gold +12gpt -- to me that is of no value whatsoever, so I give a counterproposal: Peace and THEY give ME Steel. Japan's response:

"What! You have the gall to offer Japan THIS?!? No! No! No! A thousand times, NO! Somebody hold me back before I gut this jackal!"

It's okay. I was playing the game at the time, and I had to let off some steam.

Thanks for the explanation, Mad Bomber. It helped. I thought it was like he offered, then he added onto it and looked to see whether he'd accept it through the foreign advisor.

Diplomacy.txt in one of the folders. Or you can download a program, Civ3 Diplomacy Editor. I found that [diplmacy editor] on another Civ fan site. It makes it easy to view and edit quotes.

A couple of my favorites:

Once when I saw a Persian warrior crossing my territory I right-clicked on him and said to talk, the first words were something along the lines of....

"Oh, hi! Intruding? No, I was just checking your security, which isn't very good, by the way."

On another occasion Montezuma threatened me and I told him to go stuff it, and his response:

"That's it buddy! You're on my list now! You'll get what's coming to you... someday..."

Heh, saw a funny one in my current game, meant to take a screenshot but I forgot to and don't wanna go looking through saves. I had ships inside the border of one of Englands Islands. Elizabeth calls me up to remove them, then when I agree she says something along these lines "Thank you Osman, you wouldn't like me when i'm angry."

I'm sure a few of you get that one heh, made me laugh pretty hard at the time.

Taken directly from diplomacy.txt:

"What the world needs now, $PLAYER0, is love: sweet love. Will you extend our peace treaty?"

"My generals inform me that your cute little soldiers have wandered into $CIVADJ6 territory near $CITY3. I trust that they will clean up after themselves when they leave?"

"I'm sorry, $PLAYER0, but I'm refinishing all of the bathrooms in the Winter Palace, and $CIVNAME5 has nothing to spare."

"Convey my regrets to $CIVNAME1, please. We're poorer than a blind drunkard in a crooked poker game."

"We will bury you!" (Nikita Kruschev, anyone?)

"Excuse me while I laugh. You hosed us once with a right of passage agreement, and now you want us to let you do it again? I have two words for you: get stuffed."

"$CIVNAME3 will not deal with a liar and a treaty-breaker, $PLAYER0. Go now before I create a diplomatic incident on your head with this large rock!"
