AI Cancelling Trades

[Lord of Time]

Is there some formula to trading with the AI? Sometimes they'll quite happily maintain a trade with you, other times they'll cancel it 2-3 days after agreeing to it. I'm playing under house rules whereby I need to make sure it has 100% chance of succeeding. So what's going on?

Most likely they're running out of the resource you're trading for, which makes them auto-cancel.

Are you asking for the full limit of the resource you want when you make the trade? My advice is to back it off a bit and see if that improves the situation.
