“HAVE A GIFT TO OFFER...”
Sometimes rivals appreciate a tangible result more than mere flowery words. If you’d like
to improve an opponent’s attitude toward you, you have the option of offering a gift.
Several categories of persuasion are available: knowledge, money, and troops.

Offer Knowledge: You can agree to offer knowledge to cement a better relationship.
Your rival suggests an advance they are interested in. You can agree to that choice,
change your mind about the exchange, or make a counter-offer. Your rival’s opinion
of you improves with each gift you make.
Offer Money: You can attempt to offer a gift of cash to placate your rival. A dialog box
lists your three levels of generosity. If you change your mind, the NEVER MIND option
is always available. Your rival’s opinion of you always climbs if you give him or
her gold.
Offer Military Unit: You can attempt to offer one of your existing military units to
bolster a friend’s army and encourage his or her good opinion. If the leader feels
your technology is superior, a list of your cities appears. Choose one to see the
roster of units stationed there. Click on a unit to send. That unit becomes part of
the other civilization’s army, and no longer draws support from your city.
