Weird Civ 5 'Bug, or Not?

[Scotch0101]

I have been playing civ 5 and I just realized that whenever I start a new un-modded game the science is off and 'always war' is on (I have no idea why). Could someone help please?

I'm not sure what you mean by "science is off," but the following suggestion might fix the always war problem:

1. Find the file Civ5GameOptions.xml.
2. Open this fie in Notepad and look for the following section:

<Row>
			<Type>GAMEOPTION_ALWAYS_WAR</Type>
			<Description>TXT_KEY_GAME_OPTION_ALWAYS_WAR</Description>
			<Help>TXT_KEY_GAME_OPTION_ALWAYS_WAR_HELP</Help>
			<Visible>0</Visible>

3. In the last row of this section, change the 0 to a 1 and save the file.
4. Start a new game and go into Advanced Setup. You now should have a new option to select Always War. The option probably will be selected. If so, deselect it. You may continue starting a new game or not, as you wish.
5. Go back to the xml file, change the 1 back to a 0 and save the file. This step is optional and you may omit it if you wish to keep the Always War option. However, a future Steam update might remove this option, leaving you with Always War again in effect.

Note: The xml file also contains this section:

<Row>
			<Type>GAMEOPTION_NO_SCIENCE</Type>
			<Description>TXT_KEY_GAME_OPTION_NO_SCIENCE</Description>
			<Help>TXT_KEY_GAME_OPTION_NO_SCIENCE_HELP</Help>
			<Visible>0</Visible>

Perhaps changing the 0 to a 1 in this section, similar to what's discussed above, will help.
