BUGS!!!

I am a first time CIV player and CIV 5 is the game I chose to get to play for the first time. The game mechanics are fantastic and the overall idea of the game is very very cool. Definitely a great game and you will find yourself playing for a lot more hours than you originally anticipated. However, I am experiencing the same bugs involving workers that I see everyone all over the internet complaining about. When you first begin the game there are no bugs and everything works just fine. After a few hours in though, my workers start needing comands every single turn before I can advance to the next turn. It will go something like this. 1. I give my worker an order to build a farm for instance (which takes say 4 turns) 2. Then hit next turn and it goes to the next turn. 3. I move warriors and some other units that I have. 4. It prompts me “Next Turn” in the blue button at the bottom right but as soon as I hit the button it switches to “A Unit Needs Orders”. 5. So I click on that and it takes me back to the worker that I had told to build a farm who is now no longer building the farm. 6. So I tell it to build the farm again and that process repeats itself for 4 turns or until the farm is complete… I shouldn’t have to tell my worker each turn to build the farm it should just do it until its done and then prompt me afterwards like it does properly at the beginning of the game.

On a more positive note, the multiplayer in this game really is awesome. I bought this from the MAC APP store and my friend bought it through steam on his PC and we were still able to play co-op multiplayer and work as a team with two different civilizations against 3 other AI teams of two. Very cool feature.

This game would EASILY be rated 5 stars if it weren’t for these bugs… The saddest part about the whole thing is that I was reading forums and reviews of people complaining about this specific bug as far back as 2013… It is now 2016 and it is still not fixed… Seriously!?! I originally had this review at 3 stars but I’m changing it right now to 2 stars because of that. That is a little out of hand. They need to get this fixed ASAP!!!
