Please do, I'll investigate what happens.Unfortunately it seems that Age skipping is not something that works. Ages must be consecutive. As such, the Age of Reformation -must- happen for the subsequent ages to trigger correctly. It's been a couple of decades since Global Trade hit and the Age of Absolutism has not fired yet.
I can supply a save game in which the Age of Absolutism has not fired even though it should because the Age of Reformation will never fire.
