Question about great leaders

[kramsnewo]

Hey all,

I read that you can use great leaders to finish wonders. I heard that they can complete both great wonders as well as the little ones. Well in a recent game I could not use a great leader to finish JS Bach's Cathedral. It just did not give me the option. A few turns later someone else built it and I had to settle for building the forbidden palace (which I needed but I was not quite ready for it).

Maybe this is version issue, but my question remains, "Can you use great leaders to complete great wonders, and if so, how?"

All help appreciated. I am using the latest patch (1.22?) for Civ COnquests.

In C3C, Military great leaders cannot rush great wonders. Scientific leaders are the only ones who rush GWs.

In Conquest you get two different great leaders:

MGL - Military Great Leader (can hurry improvements, units or small wonders).
SGL - Scientific Great Leader (can hurry everything, including great wonders).

I guess that you tried to hurry Bach with a military great leader?

To hurry just move your leader into the city and press the correct button.

Edit: Duh... beaten (by Punkbass2000)!

Also: did the FP finish by itself or did you rush it with the GL?
If you rushed it, MGL vs. SGL is the answer to your question.
If you didn't rush the FP, you may have disbanded something in the city or completed a chop that makes it impossible to switch to a wonder.
