Mis-quote number of turns till next tech.

[chiko]

What is happening is that when it says 1 turn is left to next tech on the science slider, then I play the next turn but it is still 1 turn left. This happened when I first started playing, but the last year or more it has been okay. Now when this started happening again(week or so ago) was when I got a science leader and there were no world wonders to build and none for a long time, so I used him for a scientific age. Well after that when I moved the science slider it would take more time, I didn't notice this at first but then I was thinking that shouldn't it move to the next tech? Then I reloaded and reran it and then I saw that it wasn't changing like it should. I thought that maybe something was wrong with the memory and restarted the computer, but it is still doing it. Also another thing is that now that I have played a couple of games with this happening, I notice that as the techs get more expensive the more it is off. Like in the beginning it usually can be fixed by using a scientist, but about the start of the industrial age it is more than a turn off no matter how much is spent on science. But it isn't always the same amount though, then I could guess the right amounts to use. If this has happened before can someone link me to the post with the answer, thanks!

Scientific Golden Ages are messed up. Never worked right, to be honest. So while at first it will show less turns until the next text, in actuallity it will take as long as before you hit the button to make a SGA.

SGLs will stack, so you can just park him somewhere and when another comes along it will be in your capital. However, while you have any kind of Great Leader, you can't spawn a MGL.

When it reads Im about to discover a new tech next turn and Im currently at say, 70% on slide bar, its natural for me to try and see how much moola I can save, while still taking the new discovery next turn. Very smart yes?

Well what happens is greed can sometimes get the better of me in these cases for it could be the bar is hindering dangerously close to the 2 turns mark, but not quite!! All it needs is the slighest mishap to take place and you can bet on that note thats exactly what happens.
Sure enough I lose to some far off pillage or a canceled gpt deal, then all a sudden poof! The computer goes to award me a new tech and says "whats this? Your one gold short mister! scam till next turn"
Now I have to wait till next turn rolls around

Sorry if thats not at all what you think happened in your case but its stll a bugger when it does so I thought Id share.
later man!

...was when I got a science leader and there were no world wonders to build and none for a long time, so I used him for a scientific age....

Unfortunately that's not the case here. He was trying to use the SGL for a Scientific Golden Age, which is currently broken.

It's weird, in the last game I played, near the end "Our advisers have determined that our scientific age is over" popped up(didn't use a science leader for science age, and never will again). And now I haven't had that not enough gold problem since(half-way through a new game now). Crossing my fingers and knock on wood, that it doesn't come back.
