Possible bug or I am missing something?

[Mutineer]

IN my game I got message that washington adopt ideology.

I am confused, because world at that time did not enter industrial age yet.
I believe it is so because congress did not increase voting yet.

What i am missing?

He is probably just ahead in science, the world may not be in industrial age, but that doesn't mean he couldn't be there yet.

All it takes for a civ to adopt an ideology is building 3 factories or entering the Modern era. There is no requirement that any other civs have entered any particular era.

Guessing you've upped the difficulty ratings. Computers get a free scout and higher science start to start. It's entirely possible Washington could have grabbed 4-5 science ancient ruins and got a really sexy start on tech.

Ideology is whenever either the civ builds 3 factories or that civ reaches the modern era.

Factories are an early Industrial tech; but its a crap shoot as to weather or not the territory you started in has any coal. But several of the AIs city spam so they have a higher chance of having the coal.

the increased votes happens when half or more civs entered that said era. So if only america have enter industrial, then the votes wouldn't have raised yet.
