You make a valid point; all or most civs in the game, and indeed all modern nation-states were founded with a lot of violence and bloodshed, and were likely built on slave labor. However, I did not intend to make my comment a critique of nationalism or the current global system. And while the...

I'd hate to burst a lot of bubbles, but the Moors are not a civilization. They aren't even a distinct people. "Moor" is a term that medieval Europeans used to describe the Muslim Arabs, Berbers, and West Africans of Al-Andalus (the term given to Iberia by it's Arab/Muslim conquerors in 711CE)...

How long should it take to "verify integrity of game cache?" I don't think I've ever been able to do that. When I last tried to, it was stuck on 0% for about 10 or 15 minutes. I canceled the operation and instead selected "delete local content." I had to reinstall the game, but I own a hard...

Hopefully, when Aspyr does get around to working on a patch, they decide to repair the architecture bug that they ostensibly created, but have neglected to fix for the past 8 months.

Strange indeed, but you've given me hope. Any ideas as to why this might be happening? Or why it is apparently not happening to you?

Is anyone as angry as I am that this still hasn't been fixed? Aspyr has known about this since April. As far as I know, this bug has never been logged on the PC version.

I usually play with with huge TSL maps and make it my mission to conquer the globe...preserving names of capitals and city states (which are already in the proper location) and renaming other cities based on the nearest real-life city. It has made my in-game maps a much truer representation of...

Ryan, I have been back and forth with Aspyr support for the last 5 months...ever since the patch release that created this bug. Over this period, I have been told numerous times that the bug was logged for a fix in an upcoming patch. Two (delayed) patches later, and still no fix. Are you...

My apologies, I see now...how embarrassing. I can't confirm whether or not the palace architecture is intact--though I'm sure it is--as I've been unable to access the game recently due to an unrelated problem with Steam. I suppose it's just as well; I more or less put the game down when I...

Hmm, I'm not so sure that he does. If I were to take screenshots of the same cities that Alan did, Persepolis and Berlin would look identical. Maybe this bug isn't affecting all Mac users?

So I wrote Aspyr and this was the response I received: "It was in the priority of our developers to address performance issues and PC/Mac multiplayer compatibility. The architecture issue will potentially be addressed in a future patch release with no exact eta." Again, this is the third time...

Aspyr just heard from me again. I hope we get this sorted out; the Arabs are my civ of choice, and this bug really ruins the experience for me.

They said the same thing to me each I opened a ticket about this very same problem (starting some 2 or 3 patches ago). Does anyone know if this is happening on the PC version?

The bug from the last patch, preventing certain civilizations from using their native architecture, remains (at least as far as the Arabs are concerned, who appear to posses a Native American building set). This was not a problem until the last patch was released--which, as far as I know, you...

Has anyone noticed that, since downloading this patch, the architectural style of cities is not native to their civilizations? The Indians are building Japanese-style cities, the buildings in Arab cities follow what appears to be an Aztec(?) style, etc. Anyone have a fix for this, or must...
