Diplomacy bug

[Ozymandous]

I am sure everyone knows of this, but....

Has anyone heard anything from Firaxis on whether or not they plan to fix the bug in the game where if you are trading with a Civ that is wiped out by someone else then YOU are treated as breaking a deal??

This is a HUGE bug, IMHO. Why should the player be blamed because someone else wiped a Civ out? In effect this is what this is.

I don't know how long this BUG has been around but at least for patch 1.21.

So if anyone is wondering why their reputation suddenly went into the toilet when dealing with the AI Civ's and they didn't do anything but another Civ perished, now you know why.

I think someone mentioned it to Firaxis and because of it got his reputation darkened,

Now firaxis refuses to see his envoy

I made the dumb mistake yesterday of starting a war with someone while I had troops in his territory, what's with this?? you have to follow certain guidelines for starting a war? It's war for crying out loud, I should just be able to go in and kick butt and not have to worry about my reputation

You can choose to do just that. You shouldn't be too surprised though that the other civs are not trusting of you after that.

How would you react if a neighboring Civ parked units around your capitol, and told you...oh no, we're just passing through...nothing to see here, move along... And then backstabbed you. I dare say you might hold a grudge for that.

Further, this situation will get worse, not better, with the institution of MP games. I can see how humans would hold grudges against each other into other games down the road. At least the AI will forget once you start a new game.
