Great, that's cleared things up. Ironically, it was espionage I stole from them.
Now, however, there are trade embargos flying about all over the place - with me being the victim of most of them. In fact the AI seems to be being a little funny about it: basically, China (my main neighbour) declared war out of nothing a couple of hundred years ago. Now, you'd think that'd give me the moral high ground on the international stage. But almost none of the other civs could be bribed into going to war against them. The only allies I could get were the frankly useless Zulu (who turned on me later, hence the alliance with Rome). So a long, inconclusive war was fought and I forced a peace deal out of them once I'd captured their Wonder Cities.
It's worth noting at this stage as well that I control nearly all the strategic resources on the map - I'm not a huge civ or anything, I've just got lucky. I've got loads of excess coal and rubber, which is the most in-demand resource at the moment. But for some reason, China's been able to sign trade embargos with nearly every other civ against me. It doesn't make sense - they were the aggressors, and I have the resources the others need to advance. Surely China should be subject to these embargos instead? Its reputation seems to be far better than mine, but I've done hardly anything wrong compared to them - no unprovoked aggression, no wars except where I've been attacked. Could it be my strictness on the negotiating table?

But of course, when an AI declares war, steals tech, breakes agreements, it doesn't matter, and is fine with everyone else!  I have even heard that if you are trading with someone, but relying on a third party's infrastructure, and that third pary DECLARES WAR ON YOU, you get the greif for BREAKING THE TRADE AGREEMENT! WHAT????? :confused: :mad:

Emulator of Otto von Bismarck, Master of realpolitik, May he rest in peace.
But the liberals should be careful of screaming too loud ... of conspiring too well ... of undermining us too thoroughly. Because if they succeed, if they do get what they insist they want, then the result may well be something they never conceived ... "They have made a desolation, and they call it peace." ~Tacitus~ ... but a peace controlled by our former enemies.
