Recently in a game I declared war on Boudica, while at the same time we both had an axeman in the same square. Shouldn't 1 of these axemen automove to a different tile, or shouldnt I at least be able to attack the axeman standing in the same tile as my axeman? Whats up witht that? Is it a big, or working as intended?

I would leave it as is. Automoving either of them would be exploitable.
Ok but can't I attack him? Isn't it exploitable to just stand on top of him without either of us being able to attack the other?

If her man is in your lands, he should move: if yours is in hers, yours should move: both in neutral land, neither is forced to move, nor should they fight because an attack occurs when one unit attempts to move to the other's tile. You have a standoff; the first unit to move away can be attacked by the other, unless it can step off the common tile and back in the same turn.
Never had such a thing happen to me in all my years of civving !

yeah this is a first for me... maybe on declaration of war the aggressor "attacks" because they are occupying the same tile and that shouldnt be possible if at war... It was in neutral territory...

I say again - attack requires movement, in the game.
Um, yeah... but it also requires that two civs at war with each other don't occupy the same tile either, so something has to give.

I had this happen to me the other night (we were in neutral territory) - purely an accident of timing. But I immediately realized several ways to manipulate any of the alternatives to my advantage (especially involving forts in neutral territory. . . ).
