AI Bug: "Do you think we're stupid, parking your transports..."

from GalCiv2 Forums
I'm in a major war with the Drengin. Deep inside my own territory, I am assembling a fleet of ships and transports. The terrans build an economy base near my home planet, and promptly declare war on me since my attack fleet was near where they placed a starbase.

I've had two winnable games in a row get shot because of the AI building bases in my territory near my attack fleets. This is annoying.

In my last game, I had 10 trade routes with the Drax Legion, who were on the left edge of my empire.

I had a war with the Torians, on the right edge of my empire.

While my whole fleet was done Toria-way, the Drax sent the same message to me.

I thought it was ridiculous, since not only did I not have troops near them but I had 10 trade routes--the war hurt both our economies bad.

It occurred to me that maybe the AI was "lying," since they almost took a planet or two while I was busy mopping up the Torians with all my forces committed far away.

I'm not sure where their starbases were though... hmm.
