I guess this more belongs in the bug forum, but I can't create new topics there...
I've been attempting to communicate with the Proxima Centauri Aliens #1105 for almost two and a half years, and while not failing, am making minimal progress- the diplomatic scale has remained between -30 and -40 for the entire time. (As a matter of fact, I'm preparing a large invasion fleet for when it is inevitably decided that communication is impossible.) So you can imagine my surprise, considering I have a diplomatic rating of -40 and no full communication, to see the following event announcement:
"Due to improving diplomatic relations, the Proxima Centauri Aliens #1105 has granted us trade access"
This might make my invasion a little awkward, to say the least...
