There had to be a first for anything.
Yesterday i was free for a few hours and decided to finally give it a try.
Logged to the server, found a quick one, joined and the six of us began what promised to be a worthy ride.
Germany-me, got tied up with England and 2 CS on a tiny continent. Declared an early War to her and kept banging at Lizzy's door.
60 points, 94, 126, 197, 236, 325. The turn-clock was ticking and i ended in a tight lead with foreign forces such as Egypt & China (about 300 each) visited early by a swooping Trireme only delayed once or twice by America coastal tiles (Open borders, please?!) but kept swimming around enough to reach almost everyone else in reasonable time.
While London ruler flirted with 195+ scoring.
I was poking Iron swords to the border and felt comfy with settling my third city. Medieval here i come.
Then, every 10-15 turns i was regularly dumped to the "Load" screen with Bismarck staring back at me. Snooping right in only to continue exactly where i left off accidentally.
Then, the enemies started to behave weirdly -- one disconnected somehow and was replaced by an AI so i was told. then another.
Then, BANG... the global spin animation got stuck in a loop of disappointment for us all it seems. Crashed.
There had to be a LAST for anything.
FIraXis this or just prevent the damn host (England, btw) from leaving our games.
Only then, will i risk a return to some MP gameplay.
(v1141, Bug - you may say?)
