1. Be in the mercantile Diplomatic Stance.
2. Set Initial border status to closed.
3. Make first contact with an empire.
4. Begin losing .25 influence per first contact.

Xd yeah - and in the end it turns out to be a fanatic purifier or sth like that anyway, resulting in the punishment to autovanish as soon contact is established.

Hello!
I noticed, that same thing is happening now, in the Overlord patch:
I set my initial border status to closed nad was getting -1.25 influence, once i discovered the nations, i did open them and got rid of it, but i still seem to have closed borders with 1, not sure if it was one whom the Eliminators on my right devoured.. but i cant seem to find that one last closed border. went through all my contacts.

It's been like this ever since diplomatic stances were introduced!

Not saying it's not a bug - it totally is - but it's not new. You just have to never use default closed borders while in Mercantile stance if you don't want to waste influence.

Can't wait for this to be finally fixed.. i'm now at -0.50 because of it but the thing is there is no empire i have closed borders with. Unless initial border status closed affects marauders....
