AI Units in other AIs territory not banished when declaring war.

[Diktaattori]

Hi,

The other day I asked America if he wants to join war with me against Persia. They had open borders and America had lots of units inside Persian territory. After America declared war the units stayed on exactly same locations. This might be good or bad to them depending on who has the first turn.

What I have noticed before is that units are banished from inside borders when declaring war. This time it didnt happen to AI units. Is this common behavior that I just now notice after playing 2000+ hours?

Edit. Could some mod kindly move this to general discussion as I posted this accidentally to strategy and tips sub channel.

Only the human player's units are magically moved outside an opponent's borders when war is declared, so that "players don't exploit the AI." The AI, on the other hand, is not limited by this neither against itself nor against the human (so when an aggressive civ keeps begging to trade Open Borders with you, always say No).
