Yeah, it is annoying that you can't downgrade a treaty (or have multiple treaties in effect). It is all or nothing; keep it or cancel it. So you can't go from military alliance to trade alliance. You can only cancel it entirely (at which point the AI often gets mad at you). Grrrr.

Does anyone know, if you have MA and then demand TA as tribute, can the AI even respond to that? (Assume that you have many more points and can demand stuff successfully.) Will the AI replace the MA with TA, or just ignore the message? Or will it give you the TA without canceling the MA, effectively doing nothing?

[edit: This annoyance is not at all unique to SEIV. I have encountered it in every computerized strategy game I've ever played.)
