Units disappearing, Is anyone else having this problem?

[D.M.E]

Hi, I've put 100+ hours into Civ 6 so far and I've only seen it happen twice but it can be bloomin annoying, Obvious I've checked that reasons such as deletion due to bankrupcy are not the cause nor is death by enemy fire. Todays example, I had a battleship, perfect condition, I destroyed an enemy city states ancient level land unit that was nearby on the water, I did it because another of there land units nicked a settler I'd just dropped off on a far away continent even though I did not know we had bad blood. Anyway my Battleship easily dispatched the enemy ship as you'd expect but then it preceded to disappear.

A game or two ago I had a similar experience with an aircraft carrier that was transporting two bombers and not even in a danger zone. If there was a Bermuda triangle in the game I'd understand (Good idea for a mod maybe?) but there's not and it can often leave you shorthanded.

So am I the only one or not

Well, it happened to me yesterday. Playing Civ6 Gathering Storm. I had an Apostle and a Guru next to him. The Apostle was at full strength, and had spread my religion twice to a city. He started with 6 charges and had 4 charges left. There were no other religious units in the game. I have hundreds of Gold so bankruptcy is not an issue. Suddenly my Apostle and Guru disappeared before I could use a 3rd charge and change the target city's religion to mine. I tried a Search for "Apostles" and now there are none in the game. At my "Unit List" there is no longer a listing of my 2 religious units.
I'm playing at Standard Speed on Prince level.
BUMMER!

not that it helps solve your issue but there is a bernuda triangle in the game,go to the wonders folder and you will see it.
i only ever seen it in one map but never passed through it.i viewed it with a bomber flying near it.

I'm not 100% sure but it may of been added by one of the newer dlc's as I've put a lot of time into Civ 6 & have yet to see it, I'm playing again now though so I'll check it out, Cheers.

It just happened to me.

I am playing with all the current expansions and New Frontier pass. I am Japan, my ally is Arabia. I am with like 6 armies in Arabian territory retaking land from Zulus, which they took from Arabia, disbanding their cities, founding cities and giving them to Arabia.

Arabia disbands all the military units after I... I am not sure what is it exactly that triggers Arabia disband(?) all military units, but I am zeroing in on the error(?). Here is how - 3 scenarios:

Scenario 1 - Arabia disbands units
- I found a city next to Arabian territory.
- I rename it.
- I buy 5 tiles around that city.
- I do not move any military units in Arabian territory.
- I sell the city to Arabia for 500 one time payment.

Scenario 2 - Arabia does NOT disband units:
- I found a city next to Arabian territory.
- I rename it.
-
- I move a few military units in Arabian territory.
- I give away the city to Arabia for free.

Scenario 3 - Arabia does NOT disband units:
- I found a city next to Arabian territory.
- I rename it.
- I buy 5 tiles around that city.
- I move a few military units in Arabian territory.
- I give away the city to Arabia for free.

My guess:
It seems it has something to do with me occupying too many tiles in Arabian territory... Does AI try to solve it's units movement problem by disbanding units? Maybe this is a safety measure to prevent AI's units getting stuck permanently?

I also thought that it may have something to do with me selling the city, but I am not sure about this. Simply do not have time do to more reloads and different actions at this time.

Hope this helps.

Just started having this issue for the first time shortly after installing gathering storm dlc.... I thought it was odd units were disappearing for no reason. Glad I'm not alone. Anyone ever find a fix?

Hi, I didn't have any disappearing issues that I noticed while playing it in 2020 so I thought they'd patched it up but sadly it seems not if you're getting it
Sorry I can't help.

Are you sure you didn't lose them to storms or volcanoes?

Yeah. I had no problems before installing the Gathering Storm DLC. Now it is a regular occurance.
I can sit and watch the piece fade and disappear before my eyes, with no nearby unit and money in the bank.

I have lodged a bug report.

Is this the 9th or 10th time this thread got revived? I’ve lost count.

5 yrs on & the issue still persists that's pretty sad, I've not played for a while but will again.

Hi, If the issue's still there there's nothing wrong with that, It's a long shot but it might jog a dev's memory if he see's the thread.

You said yourself, it's been 5 years. If the devs thought it was worth fixing they would have done it by now. Reviving this thread serves no purpose other than as a reminder of a small failure by the development team.

You're right 5 years is a long time, the problem might be that they simply haven't been able to find the problem or haven't put enough resources into finding it Regardless of the reason it doesn't hurt to remind them now and again with bug reports and thread necromancy. Once they move on to the next Civ game in the series it'll become pointless as they'll drop Civ6 support soon after.

Whatever the answer is it doesn't take away from the fact Civ 6 is a good game. I hope we'll see a new Civ game in the not too distant future as after 900 hours playing Civ 6 I'm kinda burned out for now.
