Hows this for a bug?

Well, I built up a huge military and my Dragoons crushed the REF's puny(ish) forces. A quick check of the revolution screen discloses that they now have 0 Regulars 0 Dragoons and 0 Artillery...

11 Warships. But according to the manual, you need only destroy the ground forces. (Just as well, because the best ships you can build - at huge expense - are only 2/3 as powerful as the opposition.)

So I was waiting for the victory cut-away.

And waiting.

And waiting.

But even after about 10 turns, the game doesn't seem to have noticed that I am now an independent colony.

I said before that I felt ripped off. Now I feel as if I have been robbed by Sid Meiers in broad daylight while he laughed at me.

LOL. They should have called it Sid Meier's Sodomization.

... I was sort of hoping somebody might tell me how to fix this or what the problem might be..?

You may be able to work around this by sacrificing a Caravel, but I'm not sure if it works in this particular case.

Did you by chance turn off Revolution victory?
