Although it might be a good idea to change the name of one of those... 
, same result.
Is it possible that policy changes to buildings only work on the "normal" version of the building, not the "free" one granted from wonders ?
In my game I have a bank (free) in the capital and acquired the "Capitalism" policy which works but not on the free bank. The tooltip of the bank actually shows 45 % instead of 30 % but it is not calculated in the main screen.
I reloaded the save to verify it is not a display error
I keep getting warrior units gifted from Tyre in the mid game when they are already building riflemen for themselves. I've cleared everything out of the game and only have infoaddict running but haven't tried re-installing the game. Anyone else having this problem? (I had 2 in a row this last game as England.)
Thanks.
I just finished a game with V10.5a, after you adjusted the Magellan wander to provide only a 1% cumulative discount on techs that others have discovered. Turns out I won quite easily with a science victory (America, Emperor, standard PerfectWorld map, standard time), but during the early period I still got a few "free" techs because of Magellan. Later on I had such a wide tech lead that none of the AIs were within 12 techs of discovering anything before me. For that reason I refused to sign any RAs either.wcbarney said:Is this a bug or an Easter egg (or Christmas gift)? In my last game up 'til well into the medieval era I seemed to get extra (i.e. "gifted" or free) techs. For example, I was actually researching Rifling, and when it popped I also got another tech -- Dynamite, I think. It wasn't caused by a completed RA. The only thing different in this game was that I managed to build the Magellan's Voyage wonder which is supposed to give you a discount on techs already discovered by other civs; does it give you those techs free instead??
... That ability works a bit different than what I originally thought, (it's an undocumented xml tag - probably left over from CIV IV). Instead of an overall 15% discount on techs others have discovered, it's a cumulative 15% discount for each Civ that has discovered a Tech that you haven't - which can indeed lead to some free techs. At the moment it'll be over-powered on higher difficulty levels where the AI techs fast, but on lower difficulty levels the payoff won't be nearly as great. I'll adjust this ability for the next update, so for now - it can be an early Christmas gift... that I'll be re-gifting in a week or so.
