What happened is that as soon as I loaded the game, another empire immediately declared "Closed borders" on me.

This didn't happen the first time I played through the game, and neither the other 3-4 times when I re-loaded the game. Again, in my case it was just once.



Sadly, I overwrote the savegame in the meantime. I'm using four "slots" (ICARUS01-ICARUS04) and cycle through them when saving ...

If this happens again, I'll send the file.

Hmmm... well the AI does execute when the game is loaded, so while it can't move units it has already moved it will reconsider constructions, technologies and diplomacy, launch boosters and so on.



I'll check whether it updates the attitudes each time you load. There might be a potential exploit here if you can make the AI forget about a past affront by loading and saving a game 30 times in a row. I'm pretty sure this isn't the case though.

OK, thank you for the explanation.

It definitely makes sense. But as I read it, if they really "feel like" closing the borders, they could do it one turn after reloading too, right ? But they don't ...
