[bug] 'locked' Nation able to contact, trade, and thus begin wars

November 24, 2012 11:29 PM from

I had a nation locked on a peninsula, behind my capital. They never got one unit past me, Were too far away from anyone else.. and had no air shrines for flying units.

Despite all of this, they made trade, and thus caused everyone to declare war on me.

(since blocking caravans is a big war crime.. HAH. Thanks to the stupid 'Auto road through your enemy's capital'

Maybe it was the other players that made contact with the locked one somehow? Flying units, revealing territory through magic, cloudwalk etc...

But TBH, it does seem that the AI sometimes gets contact with each other under suspicious circumstances. Once i started in the middle of the map(i always play on large) and a road through the middle of my first city appeared within the early turns, disappearing in the fog of war on opposite sides - it seemed they could not have made contact through slow-moving early units so soon.

Nah, No enemy could get to them since I was the only one with flying units on that map, and it was very early in the game kind of contact too. They even kept bugging mes aying 'Oh so and so is crushing us'
