I'm playing Endless Space (with Disharmony), and I'm slightly confused by the diplomacy mechanics. I've made peace with another faction (Horatio, if it matters; I'm Sophons myself). I'd like to offer them to open borders, but when the option is greyed out in the menu, and if I hover over it, I get
The terms you request cannot be fulfilled.
Now I know they also need to have researched that diplomacy option, but I know they've got the Relativistic Markets tech, because I gave it to them.
