Bug.

[Souron]

I was playing as the Persians, and just about to get to the industrial age. I discovered Magnetism, and set the reasearch tech to Nationalism. Instead of telling me I discovered Nationalsism, I got the following message. I still recieved nationalism as far as the Advisor screen is concern, so it no problem. Just felt like sharing this bug with the world.

Do you patch 1.29f? Maybe it got confused with the tech name...

Not heard that, so be sure you have the latest patch. Also I have seen funny things running a save from other than C3C in C3C.

That's not Conquests. It's either VC3 or PTW.

My first thought was the same, that the labels.txt file was messed up because of the removal of the Radio tech...

Is this a mod?

 

[Ansar]

no, when you reach a new age, and you dont use big picture, the automated thing will choose nationalism as your reasearch tech, so if you get nationalism as a free tech, thats what happens. I'm not sure if anyone understood me though...

It is a minor bug; it sees you got the technology you were researching free, so it looks at the last technology you got from someone else and says you got that free. It doesn't know how to explain getting a tech free without the AI's help.

Edit: I understood you, AnsarKing.

I got a free tech becouse I was playing as the persians, and reached the end of the middle ages. The bug, which is minor, is the computer is telling me I got the wrong tech, from the wrong source.

This is vanilla. This is not a mod.

What TimBentley said makes sence, although you would think that the programmers would have thought of giving a seperate message for techs obtained from Age jumps.
