Wondering if anyone can clue me in on whether this is a known bug?
Playing as Gilgamesh I am generating 10.4 science per turn. On turn 42, I completed Astrology which was at 1 turn to completion, so there should be a little bit of overflow - maybe 5 science or so. I ended the turn 43 with Horseback Riding 6 turns from completion (eureka already applied many turns ago), and during the AI move phase the turns to completion counter suddenly dropped to 1, and then Horseback Riding was completed at the start of Turn 44. This should have cost 86.4 science, so it cannot possibly be due to overflow.
I did not pillage this turn (or any other so far), or have any other source of instant science like a Great Scientist. I am Suzerain of Mohenjo-Daro - not sure if as Gilgamesh I share their pillage rewards, but I checked and they do not even have a military unit (I levied their Warriors earlier). Even if they did, a pillage at this stage of the game should only award about 20 science.
If I reload the save and select a different tech (Currency, Wheel, etc.), that tech also finishes on turn 44 no matter how much research time was left on turn 43.
The tech rate seems to behave normally the next turn. If I complete Horseback Riding with this mysterious boost way on turn 43, Wheel will correctly take 5 turns and finish on turn 48. There also seems to be no overflow either - if I choose a tech like Sailing with 1 turn to completion on turn 43, it will finish but Horseback Riding will then be listed as 7 turns to completion on turn 44.
I have the save from Turn 43 - unfortunately I do not have one from the turn before but nothing unusual happened.
Anyone else experience this?
