1* Why is the AI so terrible with diplomacy in this series (at least in Rome and Medieval 2)? Half the time they're making either ridiculous demands or stupidly obvious bluffs. "Pay us an obscene amount of money or we will continue this war that we are clearly hilariously losing." Is this a case of poor programming or am I missing something?
2** Ego? InUniverse, it could be explained as their having bad intelligence and thinking that the units you have bulldozing over their territories is all you have, period. At least in Medieval 2 there's the little widget on the bottom of your proposal (or counter-proposal) that mentions whether the offer is demanding or not.
