I was wondering about my move when I accidentally noticed that one of the countries is shown as my opponent's secret ally.
First of all I was completely surprised. I hadn't seen such thing in any of my previous games. I checked the rest of my active games but this didn't occur there.

Now I'm angry because:
- It means that this problem is not permanent but it can occur under some circumstances. So since now I cannot be sure that *all* my secret allies are invisible for my opponents.
- I spent a lot of time thinking about my initial disclosure in this game having in mind that I'm playing against marshal and I think I could win that game. And to do that I really didn't need the information I got accidentaly by means of that bug.
- I'm too honest to pretend that I hadn't seen it. I'm not going to win in such way.

I'm using MA (PL version) + ma_pl_patch_1.2.204.exe (as per advices from this forum I got some time ago).

You can see the problem on a screenshot attached. I'm playing as FNU. As I noticed before, this is a polish version of the game, so let me clarify that "TAJNY" means "SECRET".

I'm still confused because this means that there are two possibilities:
1. The country I see as my opponent's ally is his ally indeed. This would mean that the game receives information about opponent's secret allies. That would be unnecessary source of potential problems.
2. That country can be, but doesn't have to be my opponent's secret ally. This would mean that just the sign was wrong for some reason.

Anyway this shouldn't happen.

Is it last undisclosed / unattacked medium economy country on the map?

If it is, then it isn't bug (assuming that enemy really has one medium country undisclosed).

It's kind of off-topic, but I'm really suprised there's no Polish word for "menu".

How do you know 'menu' isn't Polish word. :)

Or maybe the right word would be too long? Like 'Statystyki' barely fits in its place. There's always problems like this when translating programs.

RMJ you are absolutely right. This country is my opponent's last unrevealed medium economy country so the whole thing is not a bug but my oversight. I don't know how I could miss that. Sorry devs for bothering you.

The whole situation reminds me the one that happend to me a long time ago. Before I started to play in multiplayer mode I completed all the scenarios first. Some of them I found to be extremely tough. After that, in order to learn the rules of playing warldwars, I read the manual. You cannot imagine my surprise when I found what the "control" and "shift" keys are for... :)

P.S. "Menu" is a polish word (I mean commonly used both in restaurants and in computer science as well) which is derived from French.

But if this is the secret ally, why there is no secret army cost?
