Why my Great Leader hurries only non-Wonders?

[jammuli]

I just got my fourth Great Leader (Jin Qiu) playing the Chinese in Conquests.

The problem is, I can't use him to hurry a Wonder. I could build an army, but that's not what I want.

I have tried to move him into three different cities. The first city had built Copernicus for two turns. I changed to Magellan and wanted to hurry. Can't do that. Then I moved Jin Qiu into another city, which had been building University for a while, changed to Magellan and tried to hurry. The game won't let me do that either. After that I hurried a Rider in a third city and queued Magellan. The next turn came and I again wanted to hurry Magellan. It just can't be done.

Then I made some tests. It is possible to hurry the University in the second city or to change Magellan to Palace and hurry it in the third city.

I have had this same kind of problem in PtW also. If I recall correctly, that time it only affected one city and/or wonder and I could hurry in other cities.

Can anybody tell me what's wrong with my Leader?

You need a scientific great leader to hurry Great Wonders in Conquests.

Yes, it was deliberatly changed in conquests.
You have a small chance to get a scientific leader every time you research some tech as the first one in the world.
Military leaders can still hurry small wonders, for example forbidden palace.

Yeah, I found the answer in another thread too. Thanks anyway Is this (quite major, IMO) change listed anywhere else than in the Civilopedia? Quick browsing didn't reveal anything in the manual or readme.

How and how often do SGLs spawn? Is there a detailed thread on the subject somewhere?

If you are the first civ to learn any tech:
5% Scientific civ
3% all other civs

 

[Pentium]

If you are first to research a tech, you get a 3% (5% if you are scientific) chance to get one.

Edit: crosspost.

Thanks to everyone for the answers.

Don't worry about using your leaders to build armies. Armies have been made very powerful in Conquests to compensate.
