A country is 'contacted' with a successful spy, look, coastwatch,
|
|
or recon, when an attack is made, or when you are the victom of an attack
|
|
or if you receive a telegram.

|
It possible for contact to be one sided. If you contact someone, they must
|
|
also contact you in order to obtain information from you. If you want someone
|
|
to be able to contact you, you can send them a telegram.
|

|
|
Tech and research bleed only comes from contacted countries, so it's in your
|
|
best interest to explore as much as possible.

|
Because of the difficulty of tracking past news, news cannot be used
|
|
with an argument under this option. Once the news is read, it cannot be
|
|
read again. This may change in the future.
|
|

If the LOSE_CONTACT option is in play, contact is lost after three
|
|
update of no contact. Contact can be maintained by the same methods described
|
|
above. It's important to note, however, that contact is retained by RECEIVING
|
|
a telegram, not sending one.
