I was hoping to see a bug list/fix thread... no? Okay. Here are some items.
1. When I first started it and hit control TAB to shut some other program down, it froze and I had to force quit and restart.
2. When I started playing, I selected DirectX 9 because someone suggested this would run more smoothly. However, with DirectX 9, I could not see leader screens. I would just see the map and hear them talking... no screen. I restarted and set it to DirectX 10, and the leader screens work again.
3. SLOW! Before, when I was on old Civ running DirectX 9, it was pretty snappy. Now it's slow. It is especially slow when I click on a leader. It takes a good 10-40 seconds for a leader screen to open. I hear the music... and then just sit there waiting... then... finally... someone shows up. Anyone else get this?
4. No Great General Golden Age?! not a bug... but sucks. Now I have two GGs... what do I want that for?
5. One of my neighbors (Big S) has about 5 pearls... but when I go to trade with him, it shows no surplus at all. I have tried this multiple times with multiple leaders, but they only seem to have one of everything. I can't imagine he is so efficient in trading that I just can't seem to time it right? But maybe.
6. Still not much improvement with combat.
7. Not a bug... but a bad design... both the spy menu and the religious menu are confusing. I want a spy that I can move from place to place to see what he/she is seeing. Then when he/she gets to a city, I want to be able to have him/her do something. I don't really understand how to make my spies do things. Weak. Weak implementation of a major advancement.
On the plus side, I'm having a lot of fun. I like the slower pace. I like combat more with 100 point battles... although slower, it's more interesting. I love having religion again. Just one more thing that adds a depth of interest to the game... is there no religious victory? I didn't see it on the option screen, but maybe I'm blind.
Okay... that's my take after 200 turns or so. Fun. Slow.
