20 Nitre Mysteriously Disappears

[steveg700]

So, I went to upgrade a unit to musketman, and found I didn't have enough nitre. Sure enough, I have 0 nitre even though last turn I had 18 (+2/turn from my one nitre mine). I reload a previous turn save, and sure enough at the start of the turn 20 nitre goes into the ether and I don't spot any relevant notifications.

I looked at my build queues. Nothing that would suddenly pull down 20 nitre appeared (was not in a unit-building mode). I haven't accepted any deals between turns except for an embassy request. Those are the only things I can thing of. Is there some way to surreptitiously steal nitre from another civ that doesn't generate a notification?

Uploaded the save.

EDIT--Just noticed that if I go ahead and upgrade a unit on the previous turn (the save I uploaded (the turn 176 I uploaded), the next turn I don't lose any nitre.

When this happens to me, I was building a catapult or swordsman and had the techs for muskets and bombards unlocked, and the game changes the build to the niter unit and takes the 20 niter at the start of the turn.

Not the case here 99% sure. Sounds like I may need to get this moved to bug reports.

You're building Khevsur in Tbilisi, and you have Gunpowder researched. Khevsur upgrades to Musketman. The moment you accumulate 20 niter, the production of the Khevsur is upgraded to the production of a Musketman.

Sssshhhhh
The secret society has plans for that niter!
