question about trading with the AI

Silent Sorrow · #1 June 29th, 2003, 08:33 PM

I just completed a trade with the AI where I handed over some resources and tech in order to get a planet in a system in which I owned all the planets except one (so I want him out of there).

He accepted. But the planet he owns hasn't switched over to my control. What's going on?

If it's a simultaneous game, doesn't the next turn have to run? Otherwise, if "live" turns, things happen as you move your stuff, I'm not sure. You have to wait for someone other than me to find out.

No, this is a TDM game vs. the AI. Anyone else have an answer?

You've been duped by AI ?

Surely someone has an answer to this. It would certainly affect whether I'd bother to offer planets for trade. (Tech is fine--that seems to work.)

Hmmmm....

I forget how it plays out in a solo game vs the AI.

In a simultaneous game, it takes three turns:
1) The offer
2) The acceptance
3) Execution of the trade.

Assuming enough time has elapsed, you may want to check that each of the above was performed correctly.

For example, the offer may have been made for the wrong planet (unlikely as it sounds).

Or it was never accepted.
