Great Leader Bug

[eddie_verdde]

In the Mesopotamia scenario I cannot use my great leader to hurry improvements. Is that normal?

 

[Doc Tsiolkovski]

What leader? MGL or SGL?
What improvement? Are you trying to rush Great Wonders ?
Any dirty shields in the box (rushed/chopped/disbanded units)?

 

[eddie_verdde]

MGL

great lightouse...is that a problem? cause in the same scenario I already rushed The yramids...

what do you mean with the 3rd question?

Thanks

 

[ummmm........]

hmmm......An MGL shouldn't be able to rush wonders. Only SGLs can do that. Been a while since I played, though. Are you sure you didn't rush the pyramids with an SGL?

If you have shields from any of the sources listed in his 3rd question, you can't build a Wonder, since they cannont be rushed except by SGLs.

 

[eddie_verdde]

ummmm....etc

you're right, I've been thinking and I rushed The Pyramids with a scientific leader, sorry...

MGL-small wonder, army
SGL-wonder, science age

SGL for scientific age is only a theoretical option, since it is completly broken and useless.

what do you mean?

It doesn't work. When you use the Age of Science, the display will say you will get a tech (let's call it tech X) in 7 turns instead of 10. However, you won't actually get tech X until turn 10.

The display will go something like:
7 turns left
6
5
4
3
3
2
2
1
1

While the display changes to the correct time it should be, you don't actually get the tech then.

thats pretty lame, i wouldn't know because i always rush a GW

I've stumbled on this yesterday, as I used this for the first time. In my game, which was very SGL-intensive for me (about 6 or 7 so far) I had no wonder to build that time, so I thought why not try the Scientific age thing. I've never used it before, but this would mean now that I could keep up my 4 turn research as 25% increase of science is a lot. But I got about the turn counts you described GA. Luckily Civassist II does it's calculations correctly. But it cost me 5 turns already, but I got a nice amount of gold now.

But what I want to know. C3C says the scientific age lasts for 20 turns. Does this at least work???? This would greatly speed up MM.

The theoretical science age will end after 20 turns. The bug is in calculating the additional science. It doesn't really get applied to the research.

Weird the way i had it worked was if you use the SGL you get a bonus to research in the city in question. Its not a great deal but it seems you get an additional 3 beakers in that city for 20 turns if im not mistaken. It does not make much sence that they can rush wonders but its obvioues thats there best use.

 

[HellboundHeathcliff]

The SGL is *supposed to* give increased science in *all* cities for 20 turns. It is broken and doesn't work right.

 

[Himalia]

Ok thanks for clearing that up i just thought it was a bit poor. Better than nothing. In all cities it would be worth having.
