That seems the most likely explanation, then. I've seen lots of reports of weird stuff occuring when older saves are loaded with the new patch.

What's the thought process on the best civilization if you're playing in a 2player v CPU game for going straight science?

I've noticed the same issue. I've also noticed that embarked units have to be "reminded" where they're going every now and then. They seems particularly prone to just stalling when transiting between land masses.

It looks to me like you don't have them turned on. Click on the scroll icon (map options toggle) next to the mini-map, and check "resource icons" option.

Edit: Thought it would be better to have all my questions collected together rather than clogging up the boards.
1. I have lots of Egyptian Inflantory/Cavalry/Musketeers etc. And now that I have conquered the continent I am on, I am wondering how to get all of my troops over the seas, so that they can fight, say, Persia or England.

They need to be able to embark.
You've probably researched Optics at this point, so if any unit doesn't have the embarkation promotion, just have them end a turn within your borders.
If they're across deep water, you need ocean embarkation, which comes with the Astronomy technology.
When you're ready to embark, just order your land units to move into water, and they will be able to cross. Be sure to protect them with your combat ships, though, as moving any naval unit into an enemy embarked unit automatically kills the latter.

Ah, thank you!
I am in 1927 AD and ''finally'' got around the huge continent I'm on (I chose 12 civs, 24 city states and a 'huge' map). I'm stood on the brink of the 'Future Era', and Nuclear Fusion tech, and I suddenly realised I didn't know how to get my guys over to the other countries, haha!

2. I've just noticed as I built a Forge in one of the Japanese cities that I annex'ed into my empire, that I should have barraks for this city if I want the forge to work. I do not have barracks. Will the Forge kick into affect after I have completed building barracks, which I will do once forge completes?
3. To stop the above situation from happening again, is there a screen I can pull up which shows me exactly what a city has in it in terms of wonders/buildings?
E.G. Athens
Buildings:
- Theator
- Library
Wonders:
- Hanging Garden
4. Why is it that when I load a previously saved game I am not at the point where I saved it? Earlier today I loaded the save I made last night, and I had to finish off the Ottoman takeover I had done-then-saved last night all over again.
Thanks.

Ans. 2 The forge will reduce the time required to build units...but might not want to finish it until after the barracks are done as otherwise the units built won't get the barracks experience. The forge co$t$ money to maintain so want to get the max use out of it (and don't build it except in cities dedicated to making combat units).
Ans. 3 Yes. On the right side of the screen.
Ans. 4 Really? Maybe if you are using autosave names for save files it saves over after you saved it?

One question about Industrial Era:
Before entering that era, all my muskets were trained in 4 turns or so. But when I hit Industrial, they were ready in 2 turns.
How is that possible?
- Is production boosted when I got to Industrial?
- Or are all renaissance units cheaper now?

I thought they were barbarian only units?????

I think it gives everyone strategic resources near the capital.

You must be playing the Germans. They have a special ability that sometimes gives them barbarian units when taking barbarian encampments.

Hi All!!! I´m having great time playing CiV in my free time.
Here´s my question...
Is there any way to make map anotations like Civ IV?
Thanks in advance

Do the Great Person's specific building (like the scientist's academy) need to be worked within a city radius to get their benefit? Or can it just exist somewhere within your borders?
I'm not wild about replacing
and 
with a flat 
. What's the strat for using these guys?
My first full game of Civ5, my empire often popped great merchants but I was never quite sure what to do with them, outside of conducting trade missions to city states. (And worse, I was never quite sure what was causing them to spawn so much.
)
Thanks in advance for any help you can give!
