I like to play CIV3 waging small isolated battles than a major war.

In this regard, I usually play pre-made maps editing one modern unit to be available to me alone, with the HIDDEN NATIONALITY flag for it ON.

I insert it into every other civ, friend or foe, and implement low-level conflict, wreaking havoc inside their territory, destroying roads leading to luxury resources, improvements and the like.

The HIDDEN NATIONALITY flag keeps me from getting into a war, BUT the other civs can still contact me diplomatically. Why?

I think this should not be. Clandestine/Special Operations Forces should not reveal their nationality and prevent the other civs from making contact with me.

just a thought..:)

They probably never got around to testing out what happens when the first unit you meet up with another civ with is of hidden nationality, so it's probably a bug.

BTW, this is *fun*, you say? ;)
