Is this a new feature or serious bug?

Latest version (6/15), was wondering why Eqypt kept its abnormal scientific growth, found this. The great work and theme(275) had been added into science output(544), I know Egypt's UA "artifact counts 5 science and culture" but he just reserched archeology and had 10 great work total, it didn't match. Also checked Songhai, his science output had the value great work and theme (3), weird.

Do you have a save? RE: Songhai, it's probably the Oxford University. It provides 3 flat science when themed, along with the doubled tourism and culture from great works in it.

yup, I've made a pic from it,

It's the same thing here for me...they somehow supersnowballed very quickly to the point of no return before even reaching archaelogy.

Edit: It was also their great works...if feels like they get an extra-enhanced bonus from it on my game as well (this is pre-archaelogy). That feel when I'm being out-teched that hard as Korea spamming GP...(They're around 8% above me and I'm like 5% ahead of the next person)

Edit 2: They do have archaelogy now and spiked to +450 science per turn...ouch.

Would this be due to their UA applying to their great works as well? Just a hunch... (will be trying them out now since monte and georgy both wanted to start a war on me and I won't be able to do anything to Ramses, and it doesn't seem like the rest of the world really cares about stopping him...bleh)

Edit 3: I think it's confirmed. I got plus 10 science as Egypt from my first great work (according to the city description). Anyone else want to confirm? Note that this is in Classical Era.

Edit 4: Ok, I got my 2nd piece of great work now. It went from +40 science/culture(probably from aesthetics?) from a single piece of great work to +80 when I popped my 2nd one. It isn't themed either. So I think it's confirmed that Egypt's great works are giving monstrous amounts of science/culture. Note that this is in Medieval Era.

Edit 5: Added an attachment of how crazy it gets. 800 base science/culture from great works alone.

this explains why the AI egypt is 20 techs ahead of me xD, i thought WTH, if i thought about fighting them, but its hard to smash an armor wit an axe
