PBEM Bug
Who here (besides FMK) knows about this bug where when you lose a city during your opponent's turn and it gets back to you, the AI has taken the liberty of changing the production of your cities to something useless, like granaries or something? I'm wondering, does this bug appear if you play as a hotseat rather than PBEM?

Xin Yu is the certifiable master regarding this phenomenon. He has made a Civ utility that prevents this from happening. I have downloaded it, but have been too lazy to run it yet for tests. (funny, since the name of the utility is 'LazyCiv') 
I do not suggest playing a PBEM as a hotseat for one simple reason. The temptation for some to merely finish their turn, save, and hit enter. You would then have complete access to every Civ's vital information.  There is no way to password a Civ, because in hotseat you technically play as all the Civs, so it wouldn't make sense to have individual passwords.
EDIT: See post below for the proper link.

FMK: Thanks for promoting my utility program, but I think the link was wrong. It points to a newer thread for another utility program, so please dig deeper for the old one.

I don't understand why you can't press Enter.
Could you read
PBEM questions (Ctrl-N, SP mode, confidence...) please?
