Minor civ wants me to give him money in exchange for "open borders".
What borders! He doesnt even have borders! Who is he kidding?
And btw, do these minor civ guys ever colonize? I dont think I have ever seen them do it. I think they should colonize and be able to promote themselves to a major civ in-game after passing some sort of minimum requirement. Like...after colonizing! And then they can have borders. Now we are talking! (though I would still turn them down flat and enslave their race, but that is a story for another time).
