Hi all, bug problem here which I think is worth bringing up.
We are at peace with Luddicator as of this turn. This means they accepted the deal we offered of 10t peace treaty for a certain city or cities. However, we did not receive any cities!
This occurred because of buggy diplo due to PBEM player order oddities: Mackoti proposed a peace deal with them first, including one or more of the items we requested, and they accepted it. I assume that after accepting this deal, the deal with us simply had the city portion removed, and became a straight peace treaty. (Or maybe it still displayed but had no effect.)
I did not offer a straight peace and I don't think we should let this stand. It's too big of an impact in PBEM games, especially no-talking ones, if players can end up making trades they never agreed to, and receive many hundreds of gold worth of stuff less than they proposed. I think we should definitely rule this a bug worthy of roll-back for future cases. That leaves this case.
My proposal to is we roll back to Luddicator's turn. They can decline all their diplo popups on the first save-opening - we already covered this earlier in this tech thread. Then they can decide which set of NON-MUTUALLY-EXCLUSIVE deals they wish to accept.
Opinions?
(Or perhaps Luddicator already did this, and it turns out we'd accidentally proposed a different peace offer, and my whole post is mistaken?)
