bug in civ conquests

Archived from groups: alt.games.civ3 (More info?)

I have found what I presume is a bug in Civ Conquests.

After I get a military leader, I cannot use it to build an army
or a wonder, but only a city improvement. The next turn
I cannot use it to build anything !

Bye

It isn't a bug, but a rule change. Military leaders can build
armies -- if you can't, that would be a bug. Unless perhaps, you have
less than four cities? I've never got a leader at that point, so I
don't know if that would stop you from making an army.

Military leaders can no longer hurry great wonders. This change
makes them less powerful, but also makes it less likely that a
fighting nation will blow away opponents in getting wonders. They can
still hurry improvements and small wonders.

Scientific great leaders are new to conquests, and those can hurry
great wonders (but they can't make armies). You have a shot at
getting one if you are the first civilization to get a given tech.

Any idea if a military leader can hurry a military wonder, like Sun Tzu ? I
was getting confused because I'm sure I remember hurrying a wonder with a ML
in C3C. hmm. Also I'm sure I remember not being able to hurry Theory Of
Evolution or Cure For Cancer with a SL. Is this right ? Maybe because they
are "Concept" wonders rather than a physical structure. Does it say anywhere
in the Conquests manual ?
