Hi,
Sometimes me and my friends having a strange loading behavior in multiplayer games. Normaly the intitial loading screen (showing your leader picture and some description text) is just shown when/after starting a new multiplayer game or loading a saved one.
But sometimes we all see this screen in the middle of the game, after all have finished their round and had pressed the next turn button, the screen comes again.
Then the game loads and the next round begins normaly. Sometimes this happens 3-4 times in consecutive turns.
I think in these times, the screen just hides the normal next round loading process BUT:
sometimes we get this screen after finishing the FIRST round in a NEW multiplayer game!
And in this case the loading screen means something else because after loading some of my friends (iam the host normaly [if there is such thing as a host]) have allways lost some of the luxury ressources (they just disappered) or get some of them transformed in another type (ex: gold disapeared but some cows have replaeced it).
So it is obvious that an early (after first round) additional loading screen often hides a balancing process (which is bad style because this could have been done before the first round in a new multiplayer game)! And maybe it is the same when this occours in later rounds to (but we noticed no disappered or transformed luxurys after later loadings screens until now).
edit: this only occours in multiplayer. Not in singleplayer!
