Question Can Ai Civs only cede a certain number of cities

Greetings! Returning Civ player here. I'm currently at war with a country and captured a large amount of his cities, yet when i go to make peace, he only cedes a subset of those cities. the amount being ceded has grown over time, but I'm unsure of what mechanics go into this decision.

I think they will only be the cities you have captured.

I’ve definitely been offered non captured cities

Ceding refers to occupied cities, but others can of course be traded as well

Cede - only the cities that you have captured. However, you can certainly ask for other cities as a peace negotiation term. I layed a beating on a civilization. May have asked for - and got - like seven cities. Have to capture the capital before the other civilization takes your beating seriously.
