Too easy to buy land
I'm playing on the Demo as Portugal and I like the game, but I find that is too easy to buy the opponents out of their land.
If they have been in a war and are suffering with a dodgy economy then you can buy huge tracts of land for the cost of a couple of tank units.
I have bought 300 hexes in one go for under $600 Million.
As I have never started a fight or built up my armed forces (much) then I have got a treasury of $14 Billion. So far I have bought half of the Iberian peninsular for approximately $2.5 Billion.

Same problem here
Hi all!
I am playing version 4.0.1 of the game (not the demo) and I can also buy land very easily. Is there a patch or something?
Thanks

um, patch 3 (I assume you mean update 3...) is not out yet, and we've done testing of this and not been able to find any more problems with it. Yes, the AI does not trade land, but why should it?
If you're serious that you've found a way to get the AI to accept land trades, we need to know about it please...

Value of land? What ever the market value right now is. ever how much it cost to buy land now days x 10. In 2010 I bet land will cost at least 30% more than it does now. But really I don't think we'll see any country sell part of its country to another country. If they did the US would buy a strip of land from Canada so it could have Alaska connected to the rest of the country. But I doubt Canada would sell the land to begin with.
In war destroy everything even the livestock.

Well, think of all the bases we have overseas. Those are essentially 1-hex plots in the other country with military facilties on them (and right of passage agreements). Overseas basing is impossible now unless it is already written into the scenario.
Even if we can't buy land from the AI during peacetime, it should at least trade it away in exchange for a peace treaty when you are caving its head in. I can understand the point about using such territory to provoke other nations, but I'd argue that their is substantial historical precedent for it, or similar behavior.
As for how much the land is worth, maybe:
(total population in selected hexes * GDP/C)
OR
(total production capacity in selected hexes * current market rates for commodities * 365)
Or even both combined. Either would aproximate the GDP of the region, and you can set the AI to demand $$$$ = GDP x 1 year, 2, 5....etc.
