Let's be friends (Getting AI to make peace)

[Jestak]

Greetings,

I played a few games in the last month with the normal SEIV and the Star trek mod (I got the game 2 months ago).

I did not nail all the details about getting peace with an opponent at war, but usually this works:
1 - Oponent declares war.
2 - I wait 5 turns.
3 - Turn 6: I give 50k resource (any mix)
4 - Turn 7: I give as much resources I can, but max 30k. If it is under 30k, I throw in a few techs, system ownership.
5 - I ask for non-intercourse and give resources (over 10k)
6 - Oponen accepts usually except the aggressive (xenophobic) races.
7 - I continue to bribe and can get within the next 2 years a trade and research agreement.

However, I noticed a few times that the oponent feeling goes from neutral (can't recall how it is called exactly) to murderous in 3-4 turns, but the AI keeps the trade on.

Like I said, it worked most of the time. Maybe I have been very lucky or I am too much of a good begger...hehe

Thank you
