I won a war and usually you have forced open borders for 10 years. But this time borders are closed and I'm locked in/out! I can't cross borders and the other side has fog of War I can't enter without a science ship.
After winning the war the player empire below started a war against an AI Hive which I guaranteed independence. This shouldn't interfere with the empire on top where I won the war. But this empire has closed borders for the war target (hive) which I guaranteed independence for. Does this block me from entering as his ally? Even during a truce?
Or is this a new bug?
No closed borders with me, but system tooltip says borders are closed during truce.
