So I have a really buggy problem with Warlords, and I don't know if this is fixable, or if I just got a really messed up copy of the expansion.

There are a lot of images below, to demonstrate the issues I've been having.

We'll start with the text issues:

even on the first screen:

pretty clearly not right. But I can forgive text weirdness, really I can.

Moving on:

The turn after I found a city, it achieves Legendary Culture Status. So does, apparently, everyone else's.

even if it's not my first city:

And then there's the problems with my unit commands...

I can't move a single unit, but apparently I can move all units of the same type... even though there is only one unit on the tile.

Similarly, I can't stack different types-- even with keyboard shortcuts-- to move them together. But apparently I can route to something! Oh, oh wait-- no I can't, because they're not workers they don't build roads. And my workers don't give me the route to option at all. So forget getting to those cows, six tiles away.

But it's not a problem, right? I can still get by with using different commands, and setting two workers to 'improve trade routes'. And that's fine... until I want to change my civics. You know, in case I build the Pyramids.

I can't change anything. There is no "Revolution!" button, and even the "cancel" button doesn't work in that screen. In fact, to exit that screen, you have to hit 'escape'. Soo... have fun being a Despot forever.


I'm not a despot for long, though, because with how quickly my cities achieve Legendary Culture status... the moment I found my third city, I have a fantastic new development! I've won a Cultural Victory!

Except on the first Victory page, I can't see anything. It doesn't work. At all.

Cultural Victories are fun and all... but it would be fun to win another way, too. It would be fun just to be able to play the game normally. I don't mind the text issues... I just want to play!

Help!

Welcome to CFC :band:
this seems like a messed up install - you should uninstall and reinstall, then patch up to date and see if that works.

I will try that tonight and see if it works, but I tried an uninstall-reinstall and it changed nothing.

Does anyone else have any ideas?

Do you use any mods or patches? Did you buy a budget or complete version? I know there is e.g. a budget version out in Germany that has problems when patched with the 1.74 patch.
Those TXT_KEY things clearly indicate, that some of the Text-XML files (or parts of them) are either missing or ar stored at a location where the game can't find them. So when reinstalling don't use mods and patches and see if it's working then. Also make sure to delete all the game folders before reinstalling (backup files like savegames you want to keep and reuse later).
If all that doesn't help, try to switch to another language. Are the texts missing there as well?
