Playing as the Aztecs I rushed to optics to cross the Mediterranean. No dice...
couldn't embark.

You don't have to embark from friendly territory, but old units have to enter friendly territory to get the automatic "promotion" that allows embarking. Not a bug.
That sucks. Sounds like a bug to me. Everyone has to go home first to get the promotion? Week sauce.
It's the same as with Upgrades. Seems reasonable to me. If a Scout was sent on an expedition, he would have no idea of technological developments in his homeland UNTIL he came back - where he could receive Promotions and possibilities for Upgrading.
I'm all for gameplay over realism. I think all units should get the promotion when the appropriate technology has been researched. Oh well, that's just me I guess
No no, only the ABILITY to make vessels for seafaringNot only technical development, I guess he also has to get the boat itself. And then carry it around for the Rest of his 800-year long life.
Or in friendly CS territory -- drop as much gold as you need to on a nearby CS and save yourself dozens of turns in travel time.
