Space Empires V General
I've tried giving some of the AI players resources as a Gift. Does anyone know how many resources it would take to influence the target empire? For instance, if I give them 100,000 minerals, would this change their attitude towards me? If so, how much?

Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.

I'd think 100,000 minerals would greatly influence an AI alien, but only for that turn.

It might be a huge waste if they can't store that much minerals... In SEV, you either very low in ressources our you have too much

Nice Gift
I'm not in the gifting mood right now in SE5 but in SE4 I would regularly gift up to 5,000 of some resource and watch the alien become more friendly towards me. I also noticed if I overdid it they seemd to get angry. Usually I'd make two small gifts the first two turns of contact and then a small gift to entice a trade treaty. I'd think 100,000 minerals would greatly influence an AI alien, but only for that turn. Other factors that influence AI's could just as easily undo the gift's good so that it would ultimately be a waste.
