    Info needed please

    Hi al lyou experts in civ 4 MP

    Just wondering is it possible to have a nation on your Foriegn affairs list that you have not met. They are on a separate continent, need ocean going vessels to travel the distance, no one advanced to that tech yet.

    So how do two tribes meet with out meeting??

    Can anyone explain this to me please.

    I feel as if though you are referencing something in particular because obviously the answer to your question is that it is impossible. So what are you talking about?

      You want specifics?

      I was privvy to some rumours about a game that it occured in, I didnt think it was possible. But i no expert in it.

      Perhaps it can be built into an EVENT or perhaps into the Script in the game itself , like Starting locations, perhaps an accidental oversight.

      All accidental things.

      Of course if any of these had occured in any game, I am sure that whomever it happened to would announce this.

      So was wondering how it can be done.

      Just to stop the rumours.

      Someone out there will know how it is possible.

        Well I don't think its possible to have a country you have no contact with to be on your foreign advisors list because by virtue of them being on your foreign advisor list you DO, in fact, have contact with them.

        But if you mean you never saw their units, your territory isn't touching and in fact it would be scientifically/physically impossible for any contact to have been made and despite these facts they are still on your contact list, well I don't know. Possibility of a Vassal situation? Maybe another country let their vassals go? If this is a scenario maybe the scenario maker screwed up, if this is a single-player game maybe the player popped into the world builder and accidentally put something somewhere it didn't belong. Other than that I dunno, a goold old fashioned computer screw up?

        I thought you were referring to our diplogame and a "virtual" foreign advisor.

        BTW Ras, come back and post dammit.

                Sorry Raz, I have no idea how this can be done.

                Do you have an example where it is done? Post the save.

                  If you are talking about our Pitboss a few odd things might have occurred because someone started in the sea! I remember in Civ2 that I did a few scenarios that were odd like that - game corruption I guess. Don't know about Civ 4 though.

                    Yeah Raz, I don't think anybody knows what you are talking about, so can you just tell us what you are referring to here?

                    That would help you get your answers, believe me.

                      It is also possible when doing custom maps. Like the mapmaker may have been placing everyone's starting units and such, and accidentally put a Viking unit next to an Arab unit, and then realized his mistake and deleted the mistake. But then those two civs are still considered to have met each other. It is possible the mapmaker forgot to fix that.

                      I've done something similar with many maps I've made.

                        Yeah, that's what I said.

                        But I feel like, for some reason, Raz is talking about a specific incident that for whatever reason he isn't disclosing.

                          I gave up trying to figure out Raz years ago.

                            Ok i know little about what causes these things.

                            but here are the facts.

                            1. Whilst forming some secret allliances i was given a list of interested civs who could join the allaince.
                            2. This list contained a civ on another continent.
                            3. I queried this and was told that no, they must be on our continent as theyhave made contact.
                            4. I checked the story threadand definatly Celts are not on our continent.
                            5. So i used this thread to find out if it possible.
                            6. It appears it was an accident, possible casued by the map maker, he was under a lot of pressure to make the map in time.
                            7. I believe now that the person involved should step forward and acknowledge this.
