ICS bonus
I had the most pleasant thing happen the other night.
I was playing an ICS game when the Russians approached me for talks. They asked for peace and I said "No, your terms are unacceptable!". Voila! They offered 1300 gold as an inducement to sign a peace treaty! How could I say no??? 
Then, when we were just about to end the conversation, I demanded tribute and shazaam!!! Another 700 gold!!! 
Anybody ever top this in one turn???

Not quite. I was once playing at EMperor. The Celts attacked me from the other side of a large ocean (They had the Lighthouse, I was still on Triremes). I managed to kill all their units, and then they sued for peace. They offered me 1948 gold, leaving themselves just 2 gold in the kitty.
I assumed they must be really weak, but I ended up having to spy-nuke their capital to ground their spaceship!

LOL!
I used to be in this predicament. The difference IMHO is when you switch to hardcore ICS.
