Ceded settlements

[Amethyst_Cat]

I'm playing as Napoleon in the Exploration Age as the Norman civilisation.

Frederick declared war but my policies and Wonder means he started with 3 war weariness. Eventually he sued for peace and offered me a settlement.

Here's my gripe. I cannot return to the map to see where this settlement is. I can't see how far it is from my core settlements nor can I see if it's a dud in the middle of nowhere or a possible link for my empire.

I'd really like to be able to to go to the spot where the settlement offered is located but, if I click outside the dialogue space it closes and assumes I 'rejected' the proposal. Anyone else feel this way about these transactions or have you found a way to go back and see where the settlement is before accepting or rejecting the proposal?

only way i seen it is to go to previous auto save.. yeah thats not good.

I hope they can fix this issue soon but until than you either go back like jariel mentioned or what I do is cancel and decide what to do. Sometimes they take the offer again sometimes they don't. If the war is going well than just wait until you can get a better offer with a settlement you already had in mind.

This is how it's always been in Civ, at least as far as I can remember from Civ III... No visibility, no information.

What is different, though, is that you should be able to reject the peace deal proposal, check the map and do whatever else you'd like, then resend identical terms and they should still be willing to accept it.

I'd be happy with that solution to the issue - just minimise the peace treaty window and let me look about. But I'd still prefer the suggested option.

Agree.

The easiest solution is to reject the peace deal, take a good look at the map and then offer Frederick a peace deal with him ceding a settlement that you would like. He probably won't accept this deal on the first try, but if you wait a few turns he will offer peace again, and likely will accept the deal on your terms.

When I am at war and it is nearing the time when peace deals can be made, I always make a list of the enemy settlements that I would like to have, in order of preference. The enemy will usually make a peace offer if he isn't winning, and you can specify which settlement you would accept.
