Welcome to CFC !

When you've moved the Scientific GL into a city (and it still has movement points) you will see in the middle of your screen, on the bottom an yellow / black button (just as workers have). By moving your mouse over it you'll see what they mean. One means: "scientific increase" or something similar.

BTW: SGL's are better used for rushing Wonders.

Welcome to CFC, AB Slayer!

AFAIK, the Scientific Increase is broken. So you might not want to waste your SGL on that, and save them for a wonder instead.

Be advised we have a Quick Answers Thread and the FAQ Thread. Please use the QA Thread for questions such as this in the future. Also please use more discriptive titles. (Question mark only titles are frowned upon. )

This happened to me in the Rise of Rome scenario- I had an MGL and I wanted to rush the Bachanalla, but the button didn't appear, only the build army button. Very odd.

MGL can't rush wonders any longer, only SGL.

MGLs can only be used to rush small wonders... but i think its a waste, might as well build an army first so that you can get military academy and produce more armies

Ab Slayer - Looks to me like you have a Military Leader there (since his name is Barbarossa) - this is why you cannot start a scientific age.

Thanks guys! What a great game this is.

Doh !! I feel so stupid for not noticing that !

I don't know he looks like a little enstien and keeps saying humm when you are on him,I believe he is a Scientific leader I am playing the Germans in Conquest, and I don't see any buttons or any control of him what so ever or a yellow and black button. On which screen would this be Rik Meleet??

Help Guys This leader has been in my CAp. for 2 hundred years and I can not get him to do any thing

I looked every where for some button or comand to use him and I can't find one thing.
This is something very simple or a bug. If there is a button for this please post screen shot of it, then I can see if it is there in my game. PLEASE

Edit is extremely useful.
But on topic. I think using a Millitary leader to rush any wonder is a waste. Armies are extremely powerfull.

It depends on the wonder. I've turned games strongly in my favor by using one to make Hoover way ahead of the AI, or to quickly get up a forbidden palace in a distant corner of my realm, turning a dozen corruption-filled cities into productive powerhouses.

Ab Slayer - Move your leader into a city building a wonder. At the bottom of the screen, where the unit action buttons are, will be a "rush city production" button or something similar. (hold your mouse on it to see a description) Rush the wonder and the SGL is used up. (Must be a SGL if he has 3 of 'em) Rinse and repeat with two more wonders. You should probably do it all on the same turn so that you don't lose a wonder to a cascade.

HTH
