When the AI initiates a deal with you thats less than favorable and you decline, do you lose diplomatic points faster than normal? Or is it just a standard deal

Say I were playing the nomads running around with full horse archers and a baggage train for the added ammo bonus. If I were to immediately withdraw my baggage train from the battlefield, would I still have the ammo benefit? Or would i lose that buff with the unit?

Does anyone else immediately make neighbors buy up a trade agreements and then use that diplomacy stipend to buy yourself harder to reach trade agreements?

Playing a campaign as Rhodes and by turn 15 i owned my province, had trade and defensive treaties with all other greek factions barring the Seleucides. And even managed to get as far across as diplomacy with Rome (although temporary) without leaving the homeland. I have a small navy and max (stacked) armies with a culture economy.

How do you guys treat diplomacy in the opening turns?
