Does anyone else have the problem that when the Leonardos Workshop finishes, nothing upgrades?
I am playing in Emperor.
I have already discovered gunpowder and have had it for many turns before completion of Leonardos Workshop (therefore archers should become riflemen).
I do not rush completion of Leonardos Worshop.
Leonardos Workshop is shown as complete and I receive a notice that all units will be uprgraded.
I have many archer armies in my cities, as well as other units.
Nothing gets upgraded and I just wasted many turns on nothing.
 
Actually, Pikemen is Democracy. But the problem is most likely you bypassed one of the intermediate steps. (The same problem will happen to German Elite units.)

Warrior -> Legion -> Knight -> Tank
Horseman -> Knight -> Tank
Archer -> Pikeman -> Rifleman -> Modern Infantry
Catapault -> Cannon -> Artillery
Galley -> Galleon -> Cruiser
 
Yes, I also dislike how the Leonardo Workshop is a one time use thing.
 
I got this game last year and this just happened to me too.
There is nothing in the game's Civilopedia to inform us that this will happen.
I was traded gunpowder and hadn't researched Democracy yet, I only got 1 horseman upgraded to a knight.
I had all of these archer armies that didn't get upgraded. Really pissed me off.
I had to construct rifleman from scratch. I ended up losing the game to Japan's tech victory.
I had no idea that this was the way things worked in CivRev. The in game Civilopedia is a big disappointment. :(

There is more info civilization.wikia too, if later readers want it.
