I don't know if this has been posted before, but here it is anyway. I am running Warlords with the most recent patch on a 2GhZ Intel Core 2 Duo iMac, and periodically the tiles on the screen will turn black, especially ice, cities, improvements, and resources. When I restart the game it goes away, and it also occurs in vanilla. Does anybody know why this happens?
 
It's a well documented effect, but I don't think even Aspyr know why it happens, otherwise they would have patched it by now. It seems to rear it's ugly head whenever there's a new graphics card option released by Apple.

Some people have success in removing it, at least temporarily, by zooming out to satellite view and then zooming in again. If that works it's less disruptive than restarting.
