When it first happened, the first thing I thought was that maybe I had
owned Carthago in a previous game.  I then might have started a new
game, without restarting the client, and it might have thought I had the
CMA on Carthago from the previous game.  I couldn't remember owning
Carthago in a previous game before that, but it is possible.

I started a few quick games with some AI's, and although I never
duplicated the above circumstances, I did find something interesting. 
If I had a nation that was controlled by an AI in the previous game
(without restarting the client), sometimes when I built a city, it would
start with the CMA turned on.  This is not normal.. correct?  So it
looks like the client is remembering some CMA stuff between games.
