3.13 - Privateer Bug

[RedRalph]

Playing on the Earth 18 map, I tried (As Cyrus) to send a privateer into Chinese territory and was told entering these waters would be a DoW.

Did you try to enter chinese land from within another civ's city? if so this is a known issue that might not be too easy to resolve (basically a result from another bug fix that creates this bug )
If you tried to enter chinese land from open waters this would be new bug so a save would be good .

Just for clarification: Preventing Privateers from calling up a DoW when entering foreign waters, when their move starts in a city, is part of a difficult issue with privateers and cities in general.

Circumventing the problem in-game however is easy: Just move your privateer out of the city before you move it into foreign waters (without an OB treaty).

No it was from open waters. I'll do a save tomorrow

I've got the same problem. My privateers cannot enter any other civ's borders without a DoW. Doesn't matter where they start from.

I've had this issue, but it was as suggested by others - from trying to enter another faction's borders direct from my own port. Moving out of the port first prevents the issue.
