I never had this before. I'm playing an Emporer game. And I meet up with other ai factions, but I can't talk to them. It says I haven't made contact with any other civs. I even enabled cheat mode and revealed map. They still wouldn't talk to me. They were revealed under my foreign screen, but they said: do you take us for fools, now begone (I can't remember the exact words, but it's like that) |

It's not just you. The same thing happened to me the last time I played. I was at emperor level on the largest map. The only unusual thing about the game was that I didn't even see any other tribes units for a long time.I enabled the cheat option, and tried out other tribes. Nobody would talk to anybody.
It was as if there was an implied event file in the game like this.
@IF
NEGOTIATION
talker=Anybody
talkertype=HumanorComputer
listener=Anbody
listenertype=HumanorComputer
@THEN
@ENDIF
Of course there should have been no events in the game, it not being a scenario. Just for the heck of it, I dragged and dropped my saved game onto the delevent.exe utility which removes events from a saved game. When I reloaded the saved game, I could negotiate. What do you think of that? |

It seems to happen from time to time. I can have face-to-face dealings with an AI civ, only for my Foreign Minister window to tell me I haven't met any other civs. Who knows?  ------------------

I have discovered this long time befoer but never fond out what I can do with it.However, I for myself had never problems with negotiating while with other civs in a Civ2 Standard game |

Andz, if you have FW, quickly get Red Front and you'll see what it's for  It's used for scenarios with multiple events files so that a new one may be used when you advance to another stage of the scenario. It's great really. |
