I noticed that when I reload a game, the zones of influence have shrunk from their previous size, when I saved the game. After a few turns, the zones of influence grow back, but they never seem to be the same as before. I notice a similar thing with my production. Right after reloading, production is very small, as if the bonuses have not been applied yet. This seems to mean that every time I reload, I lose most of a turn worth of production. What's the deal with this? How do you minimize these effects? I haven't loaded the 1.1 patch. Hopefully that will fix it, but it isn't mentioned as a fix.
