Hi all.
I keep having this bug on crusade, in all iterations. It happened just now after the most recent patch. I was hoping this was fixed, but now I'm wondering how prevalent it is.
I get a pop-up message at the beginning of a turn that some civilization (it can happen to all of them, I think) is currently trading with another civ. The screen asks if I would like to wait until the trade completes, or ignore. If I choose to wait, it never resolves. If I ignore, I cannot have any diplomacy activity with that civ (and the one it is trading with) for the rest of the game. It happens 75% of the time, in my games. As a result, I cannot forge any diplomatic relations or alliances with the civs who are stuck trading.
Has anyone seen this or found a resolution to this bug? I haven't had much luck finding anything on this. I'm guessing that the two civs are trading when one of them ends its turn, getting them stuck. Just a guess.
Also, looking at some of my treaties, I see that some of them I gain "new game" or the payment is "new game". I'm not sure what this means, but it looks like a placeholder for some tech that I traded.
Thanks all for any help.
