You posted this 4 days ago and this still hasn’t been addressed? Just ruined a game of mine, hope the guy gets banned.

Hey, not familiar with the forum that’s actually my first post.
Just to let you know that there is an actual glitch/hack on the United States Civ with a mercenaries Card which give you 3500 Gold & 1 Xp leveling every time you click on it.

i can’'t see how you replicate this?

I think he means send the shipment then try to cancel it, it won’t cancel but you’ll get a refund.

I’m wagering he’s a chinese player and doesn’t quite understand how to do a proper bug report.
