Giving Gifts/Improving Relations

[unmerged(94472)]

At first I thought I was doing it wrong, but now I'm not so sure. Both work on a clan leader the first time, but after that, even though you get a message saying relations have improved,the numbers never go up.

Is it me, a bug, or WAD?

I think there is a 5 year period that must elapse before you get the bonus again. You probably shouldn't get the message that relations have improved though if the numbers stay the same.

If there is a 5 year period, shouldn't that button be greyed out until it's useful again, as it is with other diplomatic options?

That was my first thought.

Gifts are useful for many things, making sure a vassal, liege or clan leader can afford something, giving you some small honor and boosting relations. The gift bonus doesn't stack, but the time span it's in place is always based on the last one given. This is true for all timed opinion modifiers (ie granting titles, improving relations...)

This should be in the tooltip showing the result from doing the action.

I've never received Honor for Gifts, other than to the Emperor's court. It mentions honor gain in the Gift window, but it's always zero. Is this supposed to be the case? If not, I don't think it should be a very high honor gain at all.. like 1.0 maybe? Or is it supposed to be a steady gain until the 5 years runs out?

Either way, Honor gain needs to be cut back so it probably shouldn't even be there for gifting between clans.

Have you ever received a gift from an NPC leader?
