"Backstabbed you"

[Kyroshill]

So in my current game I'm looking in the "Global Politics" tab on the Diplomacy Overview, and I see that some civs have "Backstabbed you" as a condition...

This is the first time I've noticed this...

Anyone know what it means in more specific terms?

 

[Mrnato]

declaring war is the only answer for the righteous

 

[Kyroshill]

anyone?

It denotes a civ that denounced or you declared war on you, if they had earlier made a declaration of friendship with you.

Can't be. Im friends with a civilization that says that and never been at war with. Still don't know what trigger it..

 

[phillipwyllie]

They denounced you. A word of advice though don't you try this as the whole world will hate you, even civs you haven't met yet.

 

[miaasma]

it means that the civ has either denounced you or declared war on you while a declaration of friendship was still active. backstabbing has higher diplomatic penalties than regular war/denouncing behaviour, even if the AI does it. if a human player backstabs an AI it tends to sully relations with everyone

Have you specialized in negromancing old threads that have been inactive for long time?
