A nerf doesn't have to mean that the Civ becomes less fun to play. For Gran Colombia they're just too easy to play as, since they get everything for free. If they were nerfed in a way that made it so you actually have to earn your bonuses, or had some limitation that made it so you had to play them in a different, more interesting way, then that nerf would make them more fun to play as. GC is definitely a civ that needs this kind of nerf to make them more interesting to play, and to make them more balanced for Multiplayer (Korea needs this too).
I cant comment on multiplayer balance but there seems to be conflicting opinions here at least. We don't have any gurantee that a GC nerf is going to open the civ up into some new way to play. Theres always a chance the nerf is just a brute force application that leaves GC with little to reccomend it. People who liked the civ before are dissapointed and people who did not probably won't be either.
There are two different bugs, and possibly a third, that I'm aware of.
The last one sounds interesting. Does it give you multiple units if the EC has some buildings in it?
Yes. They appear in a stack wherever the city’s military unit spawn is (city center or encampment if it has one.) like multiple units stacked up on one tile, I mean.
I can confirm the last bug, which i can link a save file for. Just keep taking london and let it flip back. rinse and repeat. lots of free tanks.
This.
Mostly just a really easy combat bonus to get. Archers with +6-12 combat in ancient and classical are devastating. Their UU can one shot kill spearmen and hold their own against all classical units especially if you build a mob of them. Ambiorix's early rush is just about on par with Sumeria and he keeps his combat bonus throughout the game.
