War when moving into submarine-square

[Pigalle]

This isn't the first time I experience this problem.
When moving a naval unit into a square with another nations submarine in, which I off course don't know is there, my unit and the sub begins fighting and the country which own the sub declares war on me.

Is there a way of avoiding these disturbing situations where it comes to war without a good reason?
The only solutions I know so far is to save the game after every turn and reload it if comes to war.

I you are moving the ship, you should get a pop up indicating that if you move there, war will be delcared.

Other than that, you can go into the editor and make Subs hidden Nationality. But I hear that once you do that, the oceans are filled with AI subs.

Yeah, should get a pop up, but don't.
The thing is that I can't see submarines, so the game probably assumes that I want to declare war. But I still think that I should get a pop up from my Military advisor.
The only solution would be to have a sub or an AEGIS Cruser so I can see enemy subs, but I havn't gotten that far in the tech tree yet.

I could be wrong but I think the latest patch will fix this problem. So after the patch you get a warning window (you may need to set cancle friendly combat in your pref.) Then you get a new problem, The AI all ways declares war when 1 of your subs are in the way.

I all so think every thing was fix for PtW but not fixed in C3C. Some where on this forum is a good thread called "Sub fix-sort of". It may be in the conquest part.

The bug is not fixed in Conquests. What I meant when I say that you should get a popup is that you actually should get one, not that there should be one. I get a popup when this situation arises in my games.

I get a pop-up in PTW, which is kind of screwy. It tells me something I shouldn't know.

Subs should be allowed to occupy the same square with a non-hostile. If war is declared then it should have to move before attacking.

I know I ran into that problem in one version. Don't run into it anymore. I've got the latest patch of C3C. So somewhere it got fixed.

What should actually happen when your ship "bumps" an AI sub is, your ship should just sail right over it without even knowing it's there.

once i was on the other side... as a submarine, and got into a war. i remember a battleship coming from nowhere and killing my sub...

odd, i also have the latest patch and it still happens to me.

I play only civ3 not even complete, but I hope I can help a bit. It happened to me too if I move with mouse or with the button "move". If I move with the keyboard or move square pur square it shows me a pop up. Wish this will help on C3C.

The sub problem is a known bug inall versions I do believe (not 100% sure about PTW). It is a hard-coded bug and cannot be modded away. Check out the Civ3 bug listings for details.
