OK the computer cheats!

On turn 22 on any size map, a decent player can have scouts all around you, waching your every move. The first indy with scouts to recruit means continuous scout building for many turns. All you have to see is one red candle during exploration and they know you are there.

I think the computer might have total vision, though, but I promise you that this can happen in MP. Expect it, especially in a 1 on 1.

As for declaring war, when you are the only opponent of a single AI, you should expect a war declaration, and maybe even earlier than turn 22. With a third AI opponent, like you had, this is not as certain.

I understand your comments, but there was every nation in the game (2 Human, rest AI), and it would have taken more than 30 turns or so just to get 1 scout to my nation area. I think the computer didnt like its' start and wanted a remake so it pissed me off Ok there are such things as flying scouts, but still...
