...the game is going through a turn and i guess a civ used a nuclear weapon, next thing i know i'm under attack by that civ because apparently as i learned after the turn, i declared war on them automatically. is this a bug?
 
Hello and welcome. :wavey:

Probably not a bug. There are situations that can cause an automatic state of war. For example, if you have negotiated peace as a package deal including a 20 turn trade deal and that trade deal is broken then the peace deal terminates and you are at war. A trade deal on luxuries or resources can be broken if the trade route between your capital and his is disrupted.

Were there any MPPs existing that involved you? If that civ nuked your ally (civ linked by MPP), then you'd automatically be forced into war against the attacker.
 
No, peace did not have any attached trade w/luxeries and didn't have any turns until it had to be renegotiated, it was unbinding. And no i wasn't in any MPP, the prompt would have told me about being forced into war because of an MPP. This is why im mostly confused, nothing, not even the prompt with the foreign advisor, just started to be attacked and I think the AI declared war for me after this civ used a nuclear weapon.
 
Well, if you nuke another civ, I'm 99% sure that any civ you have less than ideal relations with (Not sure what the criteria is -maybe non-allied, maybe angry or furious) will automatically declare war against you. Those you are allied with you will also be unhappy.

Maybe it works for the AI too?

Ah, good point. One is forced to make a stand against the prospect of the destruction of the human race.
