I found a weird BUG (screenshot inside) Firaxis fix this!!

[JoseM]

After i finished the THEORY OF EVOLUTION wonder (in the SS u see that i have 6 more turns to build it, but in the reality in that turn i had already built it, so thats weird, but thats not the bug, the bug is... --->) after finish that wonder (which gives you 2 free techs) i got for free the technology i was researching (atomic theory) and after that they gave me to choose another tech, and i choosed (electronics: the one with the Hoover Dam wonder) and after i got it for free i saw what the screenshot is showing you, it says:
-PRIME MINISTER, WE LEARNED THE SECRETS OF STEAM POWER FROM THE GREEKS. SO WHAT SHOULD OUR SCIENTIST LOOK INTO NEXT?
As you can see im very far advanced from the technology called Steam Power, and also the greeks didnt gave me anything, i got electronics for free from the theory of evolution wonder and the messages says that the greeks gave me the steam power. Thats a bug and i hope this helps so firaxis can fix that bug, that same bug apeared to me before in other games after i built the theory of evolution wonder but i didnt care and i supposed it was a mistake that it wouldnt happen again, but after many times i think it is a bug that should be fixed. I hope this helps.

I've seen this several times, on the 2nd tech from TOE. (The truly free one).

I Just figure it's cosmetic and don't worry about it. I sure don't want them to fix this instead of some of the priority stuff.

Yes it is a bug, but nothing to worry about. You did get your free techs, and nothing else has happened.

What I do with the TOE wonder is watch what I am researching and when the wonder will be completed. Since TOE gives you the tech you are researching, I will set science to 0% if I had just started researching a tech. If cranking up science will get me a tech before the wonder, I'll do that. But once the wonder will be complete I don't want any research esentially wasted. You can build up quite a treasury this way.

lol thanx for the info, but very late, i have science at 100% because i have all the happy wonders plus temples and cathedrals and coleseums in all my cities and the 8 luxuries so i put the luxuries to 0% and science to 100% and im getting 800+ gold per turn, if i knew what u just told me i think i would have made like 2000 of gold per turn.

So you got hit with this, too? I posted the same thing with 1.16.....

Strange, I wonder what the Firaxis guys were smoking the day they wrote their code

A strange combination of hashish and marijuana with some weird mushroom power thrown in for good measure...

Yeah, I've noticed this too but I don't really care.
