It is the mid-1700's, and I've got an armada right outside of Thebes waiting for two more loaded galleons to arrive and attack Hashetput. The capital has a bunch of units, including a bunch of longbowmen and some elephants/knights. No problem.
But before landing, I check Thebes again, and all of a sudden the 4 longbowmen (str 6) are replaced with riflemen (str 14)!!!
So I frantically start Plan B. I try to trade with all Civs for Rifling (I'm still in good terms with everyone and have plenty of gold) and NOBODY HAS IT! None of the civilizations has Rifling even listed in Red!
The latest tech anyone AI civ has is 'replaceable parts.' How can you have so many riflemen before tech is discovered by anyone???
So this is either a bug (doubt it), some side effect of a Wonder I have no idea about, or a lame way for Firaxis to give you a challenge.
Has anyone else seen this??
