Wow, that's annoying, it's true! I've not experianced that exact kind of trouble, but once in a sweboz campain, i knew I was at war with maks only after they captured a city and i received the screen ''settelment occupied'', it was a minor settelment, so after 3 turns, my garrison surrendered... but still, I was besieged 3 turns without knowing it... i understand your trouble... unfortunatly, I really don't know from where it comes. Surely one does in here! good luck with that pal! oh, it's no big deal, but as you said, it's annoying to be besiege without knowing it... especially for those in the city! hahahahahaha!
