Currently it's Electricity that makes contacts permanent which kind of makes sense because of telegraphs.
Playing as Egypt, not going for UHV, latest rev.
I forgot to activate Phytex (Phyton Exception) and do not save the game.. but I don't think a Phytex might be necessary for below :
1) A wandering Celtic Gallic Warrior captured Rome's Byzantion; then followed by messages "Rome has declared war on !"
Due to dynamic names. They probably declared war on Phoenicia/Carthage when known as Carthage. There's a similar problem with Holy Rome/Austria.
The same problem.Helpz!

Blue Marble is just a graphics package and will always work.
Varietas Delectat should work as well, but the upcoming addition of Mexico might cause problems there (or they'll just be the only civ without unique art, not sure).
The soundtrack module currently has a minor conflict with the changed civics, but you can easily fix that yourself.
See the other thread.
I think I will commit the Mexico revision soon.
