I posted something like this in the gameplay forum since I was thinking it was no way a bug like this could exist.

I'm having the exact, same issue and have found no workaround. Savegames become corrupted, and even conquering a city does the same thing.

This, to me, is game breaking. I play Civilization games to "own the world" and I can't if I'm stuck with an Empire that can't expand.

This needs to be fixed, yesterday.

I can't even play until this is fixed and that is crap after 60 hours of gameplay.
