Number of opponents bug?

from GalCiv2 Forums

I decided to try a Suicidal game with 5 specific opponents, and set it up that way in the pre-start screen.

When the game began, the treaty status and other screens showed just 4 opponents.  I restarted, again specifying five, but changing one for a different one, and this time the in-game screens said there were just 3 opponents.

Any idea why that is happening?  I do not want to put a lot of hours into the game and find out that there really are 3 instead of 5.

Anyone seen this before?

This may be a dumb question, but you did set your relations to something other then "unknown", right? Only races you've met appear on the treaty screens.

I set them all to "Neutral."  I have found pre-setting them to be the only way to avoid a "Team" designation once in a while.

How many does the minimap show?

Damn.  Have been unable to repeat it.

I did, however, close/restart the entire game, and choose 5 races, set 3 to Neutral, and left the other 2 as "Unknown" and got about the same indications.  I am confident that I had set them all to Neutral those other times, but I am at a loss to explain why I saw the behavior as though I had not.  Maybe something I did elsewhere in the setup reset those Neutral settings?  HeckifIknow.  If i see it again, I shall repost.
