You can still be given your own position, but why should you be given the relative position of other empires without having at least some intel on them?

Good point.

It's impossible to know about the existence of an empire without having some Intel on them.

Moreover, I would assume the other empires would at the very least want to vaguely advertise what is theirs (even in just the border sense, or pat of it) in a "this is ours, stay away or we'll fight you" sense.

Well yeah, that's not a new thing.

Diplomatic Power will also still reveal the AI's relative power compared to you, and a lot more if you understand the formulas behind the numbers.

which is so bad, why would they keep stuff like that unhidden?
