Religion not being founded

[Big J Money]

Well, it happened to me now. I really wish the guy who had first reported this bug had done so in the proper forum. Anyway, I can now verify with 100% accuracy that when you receive a "free tech" and it happens to be one that is supposed to found a religion, it sometimes will NOT grant you the religion. In my case, this happened when I chose "Divine Right" as my free tech after I built the Oracle. I had NO research points already devoted to Divine Right.

I have checked to make sure that no other civ had founded it first. When I go to the Religion Advisor, it erroneously shows that Islam has not been founded yet, even though I have discovered Divine Right! Basically, some other stupid Civ is going to benefit from my hard work, and it is going to screw up my whole strategy of dominating the world's religions.

Someone please triple confirm this one, so it can officially make the list. It ruins a religion player's game when it happens.

Yes, the same thing happened to me (with Theology) -- very annoying! I hope they fix this soon.

Well, I have to update this. It seems that a few turns later, for some unknown reason, Islam all of a sudden was founded in one of my cities. I don't know if anyone else experienced this; it saved my game, at least.

Did the religion found a few turns later, or did the event text show up a few turns later? Because the event text can be very very late.

That is exactly what happens to me every time I discover a religion through a free tech. I get the wonder movie for the oracle first. Then in one of the next turns (it seems to skip up to three turns), I get the indication that the religion was founded in one of my cities. Really strange, but it has never happened to me that a religion was not founded at all.

We're darn lucky another civ didn't jump in and found the religion before us, though. I'm going to have to warn my PBEM group of this bug.

I've noticed that it can take a full turn to update and reflect such changes. Not sure I've seen a 2-3 turn delay, though.
