Scientific bonus advancement

[Greadius]

I'm playing a scientific Civ for the first time, I just moved into the Industrial era and I'm fairly sure I was supposed to get a bonus advancement. It didn't que any bonus advancement; I'm researching Nationalism with Steam Power & Sanition unaccessed. I skipped Free Artistery on the way to the era, but I still don't have that.
Am I supposed to get the bonus advance the turn I move to the new era, or when I've researched one tech?

I don't remember getting a bonus advance when I went into the middle ages either... do I have a forgetfully scientific community?

You should just have an advance given to you at the beginning of each era -> for me it was announced in the same way as a great library advance. I haven't played a scientific civ with the new patch though, so maybe something's not working right.

Medieval, you get monotheism.
Industrial, you get nationalism.
Modern, you get rocketry.

I don't know why you're not getting them. I've never run into trouble.

I could be a bug with the patch. I definately am a scientific Civ, I definately didn't get Nationalism (I'm researching it).

Okay, is there anyway to edit the save game and give me my bonus techs? I feel screwed

If you disable them, your civ traits like Industrious or Religious are disabled, too. A scientific civ wouldn't get the free tech with civ-specific abilities turned off and things like libraries and Universities would cost the full shield price instead of half-price.

Probably you play on Deity level - on this level of dificulty you NOT receive a tech bonus.

It sucks - because of this "feature" I never play with scientific civ on Deity level !!!

You can actually change that somtimes when you steal/trade the tech that takes you to the next age. go F6, select e.g. nationalism and you`ll get Steam Power. Rather better, since you can always snap up Nat. later for cheap and instead get a headstart for the Suffrage-race.

Can anyone give confirmation or denial on the last two posts?

Not that I don't trust you guys, I'd just like a second opinion.

I haven't played a Scientific civ with 1.17f, but in 1.16f I always got the free advance on Deity.

Okay, that was my stupidity.

I was playing the Babylonians, who in the instructions are listed as Scientific & Religious, but I was playing it with a mod that apparently changed them to Religious & Commercial. My last two games I played a Commercial Civ so I didn't notice the bonus' I was getting as any more than natural.

I'm an idiot; ignore me
