A civ on a different map before event.txt allowance

[PlutonianEmpire]

I was playing my modified Original game, when I noticed something quite peculiar. While one of the civs was specifically set to appear on that map from the beginning, none of the other civs were allowed to reach it until the completion of the Alpha Centauri race. Despite this, I noticed one of the other civs somehow got there before the AC race even started, even though I was eventually the first AC ship to get there....

I was using ToTPP at the time.

The TRANSPORT actions in your events file (triggered by RECEIVEDTECHNOLOGY) allow them to build transporters to the other maps before launching a space ship. TRANSPORT applies to units of all tribes, not just the receiving tribe (TriggerReceiver). So even if you're the one with the tech, other civs will be able to build transporters as well.

Yeah, but I only told it to access maps 0 to 2; and yes I cross-checked it with rules.txt; the absolute only events I see allowing access to the final map (slots 5, 11, and 14 in the transport relationships) are the alpha centauri ship arrival events.
