Ah, you don't even need to play another turn, just not switching so you can click the victory prompt and immediately switching works.I would need a save to reproduce this. A solution might be to choose not to switch to Byzantium, play one more turn as Persia, and then switch to Byzantium using Ctrl+C.
Once again, -10 turns from the actual spawn turns would help as a save.No Colombian spawn (unstable vassal Peru - is the Colombian respawn conditional?)
shhhWhen playing as Polynesia, I did not fulfill the conditions of the first UHV by the deadline, but after fulfilling the conditions late, the goal was marked as complete. Since I didn't have saves, I restarted the game and was able to replicate the issue. Saves from 800, 810, and 820 attached.
During the original game, playing until 1000 AD without settling all four did successfully fail the second goal.
