1. Infinite money; sometimes the AI will keep buying a tech from you repeatedly (as far as I know, the process can be repeated forever). He will also spend more money than he has; last night Gandhi bought Gunpowder from me around 30 times, gaining me around 1400 gold although Ghandi never reached the second monetary checkpoint. I presume I could abuse this up to 20.000 gold and win an economic victory right there and then. A very annoying and completely game breaking bug!!!

2. Democracy and The Great Wall don't work; not only can the player always deny a peace treaty by being "busy", but they can also say no to peace even if they did reply. That's not how it's supposed to work and if you don't fix the online Diplomacy, it would be better without it completely! It's bugged, fundamentally flawed and basically its only purpose is abuse of one sort or another.

I was playing with a good friend last night who constantly beats me head to head so we played teams. I built the Great Wall thinking it would force the other three civs to give me peace so I could expand from the 2 cities I had and spent all that time for NOTHING!!! building the Great Wall wonder. Furthermore, I look down to see it is 1980 and I still have Dark Ages technology. The online play for this game has some serious bugs that need to be worked out. I understand this is the first time that this game has been available for online play but seriously guys (game developers) if you knew the online game was gonna give us this much trouble you should have saved the space for programming other cool things into the single player mode.
I'm done seriously playing online. It's a joke!

atleast you were able to play online:rolleyes:

The tech trading bug seems like a gamebreaker, if this wasnt a one time/rare bug the MP is doomed. If this is easily reproduceable, the MP will be utterly pointless untill patched:(, Maybe around christmas if we are lucky.

To horchata34

How can you still be in the dark ages in 1980, surely thats your fault for not teching up, of course the great wll will be a waste of time then as the other civs would of researced the tech to make that obsolete.

Im either missing something here or you need some help in playing the game, not trying to cause arguments, but it seems to me you do not grasp the game fully yet.

I haven't seen this tech selling bug - when I sell techs to the AI, they start, say, buying alphabet for 30 gold. Then alphabet is no longer an option and all other prices have halved. I can repeat this with different techs until the price reaches 5 gold, then after that the AI says "check back when the accounts are done" or something.

This is ranked online H2H on PS3...
