Twisted Borders, and Captured Trade Goods
Two funky bugs - not sure if they've been spotted or not.

Hi all.
While I've been playing I've noticed two things. I'm not sure if they've already been mentioned or not.
I've noticed a couple of instances where a civ's borders become twisted when they are squeezed between two other civs. What I mean is, if you follow the border around, you will get to a point where the lines depart from where they should be, cross over and form another inverted loop 'inside out'. Actually both times it was the yellow civ (Arceans?). I totally forgot to get a screenshot, but I'm sure I can reproduce it if I'm clever enough (and have enough patience).
The second thing is, I captured the Drengin homeworld, which had the hull plating trade goods. I epxended all my forces doing so, and the Drenghin were larger than me at the time. Once reinforcements showed up, I realised they would probably capture the planet again before I could send help, so I disbanded the colony. During my next bout of negotiations, I noticed I still had access to the trade goods, even though I killed the colony. That also means nobody will be able to capture it from me, as it no longer exists.
I hope I've explained myself properly. I've just got home from work, so I'm a bit braindead at the moment. If I can reproduce these in future I might post screenshots (if required).
Thanks
