A small minor bug, but random events can notify yourself of a civ you haven't encountered as yet.

An example from current game just started, 'The Ethopian embasssodor has committed a faux Pau in the Cartheginian capital',

I'd met the Cartherginians, but hadn't met the Ethopians as yet...
 
maps have always been kind of funky in a sort-of-related way. once you've seen land on the map, like in a trade, so you know that the roman empire is there for example, then any great people born to the romans it'll say Gus or Julius even if you haven't met him yet. that was true even in warlords, not sure about vanilla.

and i was playing BtS OCC landlocked recently and never traded maps or left my borders (yes i'm weird), so i had no idea where any other cities were, or who was on the other continent. but i discovered satellites and got the world map that way. every great person after that, it told me the city name and leader name, and clicking on the event log would zoom me to the city so i could tell where the cities were :lol:

i think maybe it gets confused when you know partial information (you know the romans are out there, it can't remember that you don't know which roman; you know the carths, it can't remember that you don't know the ethiopians, etc)?
