Here are some real ingame bugs that can be fixed without much trouble:
** Colossus expiry.
The Colossus water-square bonus is supposed to expire when ANY civ gets Navigation. However it does seem that this only happens when YOU get Nav.
Here are the AIs churning out infantry. As far as I can see you can't get to infantry without researching Nav along the way -but my Colossus still has its water bonus. It only stops when I research Nav myself.
Others have reported being able to start building the Colossus when other civs clearly have Nav.
In previous Civ versions the Colossus has expired with Navigation so it is a bug not a documentation error. Someone just needs to check the code.
We note in passing that even a wonder that does nothing is still valuable, because of the Social Policy that gives a 100% culture bonus to cities with a World Wonder.
** appearance spot of Great People
Posts regularly point out that Great People produced by The Louvre and Brandenberg Gate do not appear outside the capital (as stated) but outsde the city where they are built.
It doesn't matter where they appear so this is just a documentation error.
Gee this is easy to fix. Just edit the text to read "City" instead of "Capital". Go do it now.
You even save a few bytes fixing it. How good is that?
** format error
In the Military Overview screen it shows units' remaining moves, like 2/2.
When the remaining moves is a repeating decimal, like one and a sixth, it prints it out to 14 decimal places and overprints other things. Format it!
** Airplane hangar visibility.
That little grey bar over a city showing the presence of air units - it is visible over a foreign city in the middle of a large unexplored region.
Probably it's some sort of object and no-one has set its visibility property.
** Longbowmen documentation.
In the page for Longbowmen in Civilopaedia the range is correctly given as 3 hexes in the text but the range box incorrectly shows "2".
** Declaration of war or threat to do so.
I culture bomb an AI. He declares war. Twelve turns into the war I culture bomb him again. He always responds by threatening to declare war.
There are various posts about AIs declaring war when already at war.
Before declaring war or threatening it, the game should check that the Civ is not already at war. If so, then it should substitute a general insult or do nothing.
** Denouncing to the air
Similar to the last one.
"I've denounced you to the other leaders."
Before denouncing, the game should check that there are (still) other players to denounce to.
