    How to copy a saved game from one PC to another (steam version)

    When moving a save game file from one PC to another has any one found that it changes the leaders for all of the Civs? For example, I went from Kublai Khan of the Mongols to Abe Lincoln of the Mongols. The other civs switched as well.

    Uninteresting landmasses?

    There are two things I would change, but they are related, so I guess it really is just one thing. Sometimes when you use the feature that automatically upgrade all of your planets to a new planetary shield level or upgrade to fertile/gaia, after the upgrade is complete the the allocation bars...
