Hello all! I'm having a strange problem in my current game. I was using the strategy where you trade with a minor race for all the techs they have and all their money, and then immediately after defeat them before they have a chance to trade it to anyone else (cruel, I know...).

Just in case, I saved my game, and then I traded with the minor race. It was going great, I talked with them and got all of their technology and all their money in exchange for some of my own technologies. Immidately after the trade was done I sent in my warships and defeated their defenses, and then invaded with my troop transports.

This is where my plan went south. My invasion failed, and I didn't have any more transports in range that could make it that same turn. So, I decided to reload my save game and try again. Only now the civ won't trade with me at all. I can offer all my techs and all my planets and all my money, and he won't budge. Before the reload I had no problems getting all his techs by simply trading my techs.

Has anyone else seen this before?
