[PC/Steam] AI Personalities inconsistent between save/load

Description:  In the course of troubleshooting another issue (the issue I had with the grievance/crisis diplomacy system going haywire which is also posted here) I confirmed another bug that I was fairly sure I'd noticed earlier.  If you select AI personalities and start a game, then save that game, and load it again to play later the game will *not* choose the same AI personalities to fill the game/slots which I would guess can lead to some very interesting behavior if an AI had a major personality shift halfway through the game (a turtle AI for example being substituted for a warmongering AI that was in the middle of an expansion).


Steps to Reproduce: 

  1.  Click "play" and set up a new game (multiplayer for certain single player likely*).  

  2.  Change the starting configuration of AI Personalities that you are presented to another configuration.  

  3.  Play one or more turns.  

  4.  Save the game.

  5.  Concede the game to back to the main menu.

  6.  Click Play, choose to load the game.

  7.  Note that the AIs presented to fill the seats are back to the original suggested ones that were presented when you created the game, NOT the ones that were ultimately chosen.


Expected Behavior: When loading a saved game the same AIs will play the same civilizations as when I saved the game.


*I *believe* I've seen it happen in single player.  I am *100%* sure that I've confirmed multiple times it happens in multiplayer.

+1. Me and my friend are also seeing this bug whenever we load a save of our multiplayer game. It doesn't matter which one of us hosts, when we get to the lobby the AI Personalities have been randomised as if we were starting a new game.

+1 to this

Can confirm it can be replicated in single-player as well when the AI personalities are changed.

If you enter the new game menu and select personas, then back out and load a save game, the personas in your save game will appear like the personas selected in the new game menu but have their original name and traits. See my post here:
