Known Bugs

[Alneyan]

Demand Surrender, Demand Gift, Demand Tribute and possibly others do not work correctly: the recipient cannot accept those demands, both because the default message is a refusal, and because nothing accepts if you go ahead and accept. I think all other demands are not automatic, and those do not seem to be affected by the Demand problem. So yes, you can safely accept a Demand Surrender.

Oh, and Emergency Building lasts eleven turns, and not ten as advertised, if you do not turn it off yourself; I don't know if that would qualify as a bug though.

I can vouch that Demand Surrender works against the AI. When the conditions in the AI files (i.e. percent of score) are met, they will accept the demand and the surrender will be executed. Would this only apply to human vs. human?

Or perhaps, just perhaps, it only works for the human if the score condition is met? (Assuming all Empires have a default politics file) And maybe the same could go for the Demand Gift option?

Alternatively, it could just be that the AI surrenders on its own when asked to surrender, instead of accepting the demand of surrender (in this case, the surrender will be carried exactly the same, so the difference would be impossible to tell). Do you know if AIs can accept to make a gift to you?

I haven't demanded a gift from an AI in a long time because I think it's a cheap tactic, but I do remember it working; haven't tested all permutations of the demand request, though. I remember demanding (and getting) planets, ships, etc.

That happens because the resupply is done before supply use for the last sector of movement.
