Map sharing issue (bug?)

Post by Sabratha »

I was makign a playthrough during which after exploration and map sharing I discovered the whole map. I then got some map-sharing requests from the other 3 surviving factions, which I accepted. So at that point everyone had the whole map revealed.
However the same 3 factions kept asking me to share maps over and over again, even though everyone already had the whole map revealed. This was constant enough to feel like diplomacy spam.

I suggest that other factions do not ask the player to share maps if they have uncovered the whole map.

Thanks, will be fixed with the next version! On top of that, sharing maps will become a little bit harder.

I'm not sure if sharing maps should be much harder as that part imho works pretty well (factions usually want to share only if I discovered a lot of ground already), but the "whole map uncovered" issue is pretty silly.

I noticed the same bug.

Maybe sharing maps should be harder in the sense, that often the AI share maps while they have discoverd a significantly larger area than you.

Perhaps as an added AI element - the AI should agree to trade maps only if it has at least 2 cities.

In the early part of the game (when everyone had 1 city) I found myself quickly trying to share maps with any civ I encountered, so I could pinpoint their city, zerg them with my units before they grow and "nip them in the bud". Its an old habit I had from civ 2 days, but it is a bit of an exploit.

Setting the AI so that it is willing to trade maps if it has at least 2 cities (or better yet - 2 already garrisoned cities) would help to avoid the player exploiting the AI in such ways.

Playing a large map I have had trouble getting my opponents to share maps... until about halfway in the game. I am easily the dominate force, with 3/4 of the world explored and in exchanging maps with the smallest (3 cities to my 9) I discovered an interesting point. Little guy had the whole world explored.

I'm not even sure it was possible as he was at war with two factions, when would he have explored the world? Very odd...
