I just finished my 4th game - got beat by China with religion. I was ahead in points, leading in 2 out of the 4 areas, 2nd in the 3rd - was 6th in religion. I won my 2nd and 3rd games - 3rd by a landslide, controlled 3 out of 4 areas for almost all the game.
In my first 3 games I took cities and CS - in this 4th game I made it a point to not battle anyone all the way to a little over turn 350. At that point, it became obvious that China was taking religion to all over the board - his missionaries where like ants running all over the place so I went on the attack but too late.
First, I obviously don't understand about religion. I lost my first game to religion but at least in that game I was able to declare a religion and could have made missionaries, etc., if I had wanted. In the next 3 games I was never asked to make a religion and never had missionaries, etc., as one of the options. This even though I had made it almost all the way through to the end of the tree options and built most all of the religion items. In my 4th game I made it a point to do so and the same result.
Now, toward the end of this, my 4th game, I had units come up with the "upgrade" option and did so - but on 4 units, no matter how I tried I could not get these units to upgrade. I even sent them back to friendly territory to see it that would help - it did not.
A bug, maybe? Something I don't understand about how to click on upgrade and then select which upgrade I want?
