Multiplayer Game decided to change my civilization.

[Spirit]

While playing a multiplayer game with two friends, after we transitioned into the exploration age and playing for two rounds the game started loading again for all of us after which the game decided I should continue playing as Hawaii instead of Ming, Ming was the Nation I actually chose in the lobby. Reloading an autosave from a round before it happened also didn’t give me back my original nation. Instead strangely I was playing as Hawaii, but I could still research Ming units in the tech tree.

This keeps ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ our multiplayer rounds and essentially ruins our age transitions.

host likely reloaded a different save.
I noticed hosting if you forget to save. (first turn after transition) Or you don't proceed after an age change and save the game. You have to reload previous Era autosave. Than proceed to next age. At which case AI will pick your Civ.
If only age transition was more smooth. especially online.
