Offerings

In Trade Mode, I know you can give offerings to the other civ's ruler. I only do this for the dwarven traders of course. Other than giving you another yearly goal, do offerings affect the game any other way?

I think things like armor and weapons offered to Dwarven civs will make the king own these items when he shows up.

As you journey to the center of the world, feel free to read the death announcements of those dwarves that suffer your neglect.

One billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the cosmos. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips, I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my veins. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk and free throw.

I always thought it improved diplomatic relations with the civ.  But there's almost no way to tell if it actually does that.

IIRC offerings will help make the humans not attack you, if for example the trade caravan from the previous year gets whacked by goblins.

considering I'm not sure humans even siege in the latest versions (drowned 3 caravans and locked the trade rep in till he went berzerk and starved so far and no attack) there does not seem to be much point.

Some have said offerings will increase the caravan size, I admit I've never sat down and tested it but I get the feeling it does not.

I think it's just sucking up to civs that are angry at you. Throw some jewels at them an all is well.

y fortress is a truly horrible place to be. Imagine what other forts must be like if dwarves still imigrate there.
