Now, This is what I was talking about. I signed the trade alliance with the one race, their mood was "warm". A soon as I sign the trade they drop to moderate, and now the following turn they are dis-pleased. WTF!?? they should be leaping for frigging joy I signed the treaty and didn't crush them like a bug! Ingrate little mutha (explative)!

talk on the role-playing side of it, this is what irritates me about the game and treaties and whats the point. they get a warm mood, you sign a treaty with them and they get insulted I accepted their offer?

OK, so you wanna play rough? OK, say HELLO to my little friend.

This is caused by the way the AI decides on its attitude towards you. There are seperate calculations done according to how many planets you own that the AI could use. When you are not in any treaty, or in non-intercourse or non-aggression treaties, you are an 'enemy', but once you are in a treaty above 'non-aggression' you are a 'friend' and different numbers are used to calculate attitude. Look at Default_AI_Settings:

Get Angry Over Allied Colonizable Planets := True
Get Angry Over Enemy Colonizable Planets := True
Percentage of Allied Planets to consider as Attack Locations for Anger := 5
Percentage of Enemy Planets to consider as Attack Locations for Anger := 5

If the numbers are different the AI will have a usually major attitude shift towards anyone that changes treaty status.
