I'm finishing a game (which I'll tell you about soon) and I noticed two things odd.
1) I'm in celebrating fundy, and I've got so much cash that I decided to switch from taxes to 70% science. I noticed that my cities weren't generating as much science as I thought they should, so I fiddled around and determined that any science over 50% was ignored. This is in addition to the fact that all fundy science is cut in half. For example, under other governments, a city generating 40 trade at 70% science would produce 28 beakers. Under fundy it should produce half of that, or 14. But the actual production was 40 x 50% x 50%, or just 10 beakers. As far as I can tell, the manual and the Civilopedia do not mention this 50% cap; they just say that you can set tax/sci/lux to 80%, which is true. I don't play in fundy very often, and I've never noticed this. Does everyone else already know about it?
2) There's a glitch that I have noticed before, but not in a long time. When I save a game at the end of a turn and then reload the game, sometimes I find that after processing the cities, it's still the same date as it had been, and I can move a number of my units (often with only a fraction of their normal movement points), but usually only a modest fraction of my units. Then I get another full city-processing phase before the game sets to a full turn the next year. I always wonder if I'm imagining it, but it usually happens in streaks -- several times within a short period of a single game -- and this time I've been logging carefully and I'm quite confident it's happening. Does anybody else have this experience?
