ACK! Screwed up the title. If a Mod is feeling generous please change it to “Civ 5” rather than “Cuv 5”. :smack:

I have been playing the new expansion for Civilization 5 (Gods & Kings) and am really liking the improvements so far (much better game IMHO) but running into what seems like a bug so asking here to see if anyone else experiences it or if there is something I am missing.

My advisors keep telling me my people are pissed off an unhappy. Thing is, aside from my advisor, my people seem pretty pleased. You can see it in [this screenshot](http://i.imgur.com/0LSnQ.jpg) of one of my games. Damn advisor has been telling me this all game and I have never had unhappy people according to my smiley face icon near the upper left corner.

Problem is I am not sure who to believe. It seems my people are actually happy and productive but that damn advisor worries me that I am missing something.

I did a (brief) web search and so far can’t find anything about this which is why I wonder if I am missing something obvious or just suck at Google searches.

I think there may be some bug that delays notifications in general, and sometimes causes them to repeat. A couple days ago, I founded a new city on an island to get access to a couple oil resources that had just been revealed. For the next 20 turns or so, the game kept telling me I had discovered an ancient ruin which I had already explored as I was heading there.
