I know its an old game, but I just bought it so its new to me. I'm wondering if anyone is familiar with any bugs in the game? I just spent a few thousand years watching workers running around on dirt roads because there was no coal anywhere in the world for railroads. Also some other things come up missing at times like the Apollo program and other features it never gives me the option to built. I can't seem to build an embassy after the first two contacts with other civilizations.
Are these bugs or do I have preferences not set correctly maybe? I'm downloading a patch now but they weren't very specific about what it does. I think its really for multiplayer.
The game is great fun but ends rather anticlimatically. Civ2 had lots of great animations but now all you get is a popup banner saying "yeah, whoopiedoo, you won..zzzzz"
