Have you started any battle with him? I guess that when a battle starts, war is auto declared.
A mão que afaga é a mesma que apedreja.
Someone offered me share map but later declared war without cancelling his share map offer. I then used his share map offer to get intelligence on his army, before declaring war again. This was fine as I had ongoing intelligence on his army as he still had share map with me while he had no intelligence on my army as I was now at war with him.
However, when I "binned" the accepted share map offer a few hours later, I lost the intelligence to his army as his country then switched to war.
This appears to be a bug, either one of two ways:
(1) Either I should not have been receiving ongoing intelligence about his troop dispositions after I re-declared war on him as his country should have automatically gone to war with me at the same time, or
(2) The fact that I had war selected against him while he still had share map with me is how the game is supposed to work, but the condition changed when I binned the "share map accepted" trade.
Either way, war should either be mutual or not, and shouldn't depend on whether or not one bins an old trade.
There is a small possibility he just happened to notice he still had "share map" with me at the very moment I binned the old trade and declared war on me at the same instant, but it is very unlikely as he hadn't noticed the "share map" for hours and I checked whether he still had "share map" set directly before and after I binned the trade, he still had it the moment before but it had switched to war the second after, which is why I think it was probably the binning that caused the change. Anyhow, it probably wouldn't be too difficult to verify this is a bug, just by getting a couple of game testers to try it for themselves.

I can't remember now whether I was fighting him or not at the time I deleted the share map trade note - but it's unlikely that a battle just happened to commence right at the moment I deleted the note. And I've only fought one battle with him so far today.
