Summary	0008202: War battle/takeover chances use civ proximity instead of site proximity?
Description	Year 1 - 125: We have goblin civ in the south-west corner and dwarf civ in north-east corner. Both are very localized and have no direct contacts, no conflicts, no wars... Year 125: We embark near the goblins so that our dwarf civ is now adjacent to goblins. Year 125, Autumn: We get our first outpost liason, she is a goblin. What? Year 126-127: our mountainhomes are destroyed, all nobles, including the king, are killed, some of our dwarves inherit the baroness and king titles. What? When I look at history, it seems that as soon as we settled near goblins, far away from our mountainhomes, goblin civilization started conquering all the dwarf sites in the opposite corner of the map. Liason was a goblin because at that time, the town she came from have been conquered already (3 months)... ...from the opposite corner of the map... I expect that after one more year, my fortress is going to be the last site of the dwarven civ that has existed for 125 years.
Steps To Reproduce	Embark from the dwarf civ that is far from the goblin civ, inside the territory of the goblin civ and watch your civ slowly conquered in the far-away land.
Additional Information	It seems to me that when the game decides where the battle or site takeover should happen, it uses the information about how close two civilizations are, not how close the town, which is attacked, is to the attacking civilization.
