Extortion: can we do it to the NPC's?

November 17, 2010 10:40:29 AM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

In some games of 1.09e, the NPC Sovereigns would threaten me and try to extort money.  Can we do it to them? If so, what menu/choices do you use to do it?  Every time I tried to envision how to use the 5 choices on the Diplomacy menu I couldn't figure out how to do it....

I think if you just put an amount of gold on their side of the trade table, and nothing on yours, it's seen as a demand for money...

But the button "This trade seems good to me" doesn't appear, to allow you to try to 'conclude' the extortion, so you couldn't ever suggest an amount.

 

Say I'm at your doorstep with a 1000 battle point army; I could ask for 50 gold to go away, or 5000, but without the button activated, there would never be an amount proposed for the extortion...

The only thing is there would have to be some sort of way the NPC can force the human player not to attack anyway.  So there must be a point assigned to "don't attack me for X turns" to money extorted for NPCs to agree.
