Great general passive bonus works only on units of the proper era (Not A Bug)

[ichbinsehselber]

The great general is supposed to boost the melee strength of nearby units, but it does not seem to do anything.
Not even if I bind the great general to the melee units with the escort feature
civ6 version 1.0.0.26

Edit: No bug. The unit must be from the proper tech era

I've also noticed this, or at the very least the bonus does not show up in the combat preview.

Don't know about great generals but great admirals strengthen only units of a certain era and not simply all units, may be that's the case

 

[Sebmono]

Ah, good point, will have to double check my game when I get off work.

Yes, confirmed, this was the problem. When picking a unit of the appropriate era, the great general bonus works.
Thanks zagosya
