    [Bug] Forcing me into a different civilization then the one i pick to join

    I have been forced into the Japanese Shogunate 3 times now when I have click on a different civilization then it all three times and at the time I clicked join on a civ the Japanese Shogunate has had it listed as max players.

    When I first went to join a civ I tried to create one and it put me in Japanese. (was trying to make the roman one) Second time I had clicked on the American civ and put me in Japanese again. Third time i had tried to join Eygpt and the same thing happened so i have just given up cause i don't want to have to wait again.

    As of right now the Japanese have 37 players (I'm including myself) and i have yet to see it listed off of max. While the next closest one is the Chinese civ only has 14.

    This is interesting, because I think this is what was happening in game 302 with Rome. Something is very funky in the civ joining at the moment.

    There's definitely something wrong. My civ in 302 now has this many players, out of 176 in the game total:

    Game 389 I tried to join Chinese ended in Spanish. That is first bug, second bug is Spanish civ 11 players and max civ.. ok no problem but Japanese 24 members and max members. Talk about this going to be a crappy game. 24 members and all other civs limited to 11 means japan will just go military and dominate everyone

    Dude, you have no idea. I can't even get a majority of them to research the same tech.

    This bug happened to me today, I tried to join rome, and somehow ended up with spain, even though I didnt click them, AND they were already maxed.

    game 308

    The same problem with 308. I tried to join British, but got to African. African has 25 players, while British only 10, both show Max. players.

    Other strange things are happening too:
    1) The wonders built by African are (probably) credited to British.
    2) Defense minister of British is also our defense minister.
    3) If we try to add a great person to build a wonder, it's returned back after a couple of seconds.

    Im in game 440 and everytime (twice now) I've tried to join the british it puts me in the African League. (africans have the largest amount of players by far)

    I understand this is still beta and testing these kinds of problems so am not going to get worked up about it

    I'm in game 451. I seem to be ruler of the Chinese civilization. However, I cannot leave nor can I join any other league. To make matters worse. I am recognised by the game to be an independent state.

    Game 290 seems to be having a similar problem. The British Empire is massive, they're leader is also my civ's defense minister, and the British seem to have taken credit when my civ was the first to research literature.

    Game 341 you can't choose your civ, after leaving you have a count down 12h to try to join another and the same BUG. I though the people leave civ to Farmville because 168 player in this game. Too much bug don't put novice programmer to try fixing it ;-P

    I have had the same exact problem. I do not know what Game number I am in, but I tried to join the British Commonwealth and was forced into the Egyptian Dynasty, and apparently so were most people in this game, since that civilization has several hundred players and no one else has more than a dozen.

    Game 287...

    There is no way to stop Spanish from winning the game. They have approximately 70 people in the civ, while other civs have like 2-3 people and probably due to bug two or three are "sharing" techs with Spanish. Also when those guys built a wonder and won the Era it said that Americans won it...
    The build every single wonder, which is dead easy with so many people.

    Obviously something is seriously messed up.

    Game 390: forced into African league with 31 members when trying to join Germans with 7 members. The Germans were the next largest nation. Also, the smaller factions have more tech than the largest faction even though they have one or two members.

    Smells fishy.

    All of this makes me want to jump into a different game session, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do that.

    UPDATE: african league won the era and I was dropped from the roster.

    A lot of the new games started since the open Beta seem to have this problem, so going into a different game probably wouldn't help. In game 302 the Romans have 45 members, which should be impossible. This is way buggier than it was last week.

    Yes game 301 has the same problem, only this time it's the Arabian Empire that everyone ends up joining even though it's at max players. This is the 1st Civ listed in the world view and now has 43 players. Game was started after the Beta went open.

    I really hope this gets ironed out soon... This game has a lot of potential. But I guess that could be said of a lot of games with horrible balance and implementation.

    This is happening in 309, with France. Thankfully I've been able to wrest power and make my way to the top spots of the uber powerful civ, but I must say I'd prefer if I could be in Japan or Englan or Germany (and not have been redirected to france) and if the field was alittle more even :l

    Same thing happening in game 613. Japanese Shogunate is getting all new players and cruising through the eras just by accumulating gold.
