I was actually amazed that BNW was able to make Civ 5's multiplayer WORSE! Although previously it was an awesomely fun multiplayer which was completely unplayable with friends due to the disconnection / non-conneciton problems, now it just doesn't work. If you try and start a multiplayer game (host or join, lan or internet) it just crashes to desktop (Civ 5 has stopped working). This started the day I installed BNW, and disabling it doesn't fix anything, nor does a myriad of ideas I have tried.
Great. But sure, Civ is mainly a singleplayer game, right (well, it shouldn't be, but it is forced to be by the netcode). BNW really feels like it completes the game, a lot of awesome stuff is added-- but oh wait, now the singleplayer is unplayable as well.
It's unplayable because of stupid like this happening completely randomly all of a sudden one turn without any reason.
twenty turns later, Portugal has 7k gold, still losing 1k a turn, Russia randomly got 22k, despite only gaining 3 a turn. This game is 100% pure potato right now. This doesn't effect anything, too, despite losing 1000 gold a turn, her armies don't disband, her empire is unchanged, nothing happens. She literally signed research agreements with everyone in this game. 100% potato.
