replays *are* in the game

[Zoetstofzoetje]

One gamer discovered that Civ5 creates a 'replay' file after winning or losing the game.

At this link you can see a replay in action: http://discordia.erinye.com/civ5replay/alexander.html

It seems like this feature was cut, as the gamer notes in one of his commentaries that the data file is incomplete and riddled with inconsistencies.

In other words, it didn't make it out of crunch time alive. Let's hope they include it as part of a future patch!

If not, we might be looking at various 'hot coffee' mods sooner than later

Wow, very interesting!! Good find!

What happened when that one German city changed color?

Wait a second. Are you saying that there is an html file created in the game that can be opened with any browser?
And can you provide a link to the whole discussion?

i think black are city states. probably a random allocation by the poster who first discovered this.

no html file though, it's crunched out of another file.

It does seem it will require more developers' work, rather than hackers'.
