I've never seen them reject a gift where you ask for nothing in return, though.) So if you offer them Vancouver and ask for 1000 coins, they might reject the trade, but if you offer them Vancouver and ask for 5000 coins, they might accept it.

(You might see something peculiar: the AI will usually reject trades that are too good for it. Either give it to them outright, lose it to them in a war, or make thousands of coins by selling it to them.

I'm not looking to keep my strategy 100% however, there is a reason I use the strategy (i.e. I was wondering if there was any strategies to allow me to adapt this strategy to get ahead for another victory condition such as Tourism/Culture (BNW) or Diplomatic Victories (Neither of which I've successfully completed before). I've won (or played until bored) numerous times as my Honor-Aztec strategy with Domination Victory. Strategies like this, where my Civilization's UA/UU syncs amazingly well with other aspects of the game (Social Policies, Wonder Bonuses, Promotions, etc.) make the game a lot of fun for me. By far my two favorite are Honor-Aztecs with the +Faith-On-Kill pantheon (tons of stuff on kill :D) and Egypt with the obvious wonder building perks. However, that being said I do like variety so I aim for different victory styles using similar mini-strategies if you will. I love playing civ5 by getting the most out of my UAs/UUs.
