Minister construction and research bonuses not being applied

[pgroves]

I've done quite a few tests with Italy in the 1936 scenario, and I don't think that construction nor research bonuses due to minister effects are being applied.

For example, if I build a Garrison at the start of the 1936 scenario, this costs 4.8IC and 57 days to produce. I then change the army minister from the one that gives me -15% supply, to one of the ones that gives -5% on infantry production costs. I then wait 24 hours (just in case it takes a day for the minister's effects to kick-in) and produce another Garrison, but this still costs 4.8IC and 57 days to produce, when in theory I think should cost 4.8 - (4.8 * 5/100) = 4.56

I've done some similar experiments with research that makes me think this is not working, as far as minister effects go, either...

Cannot see this being hardware or driver related.

Its not, where do bug reports get posted then?

You have been around long enough to know where the sticky threads are.

Its infantry construction bonus, and thats why its not working on garrison units, but infantry price goes down at once when you change the minister (6.3-6.0). I dont know if research bonus works.....

It does, but because of rounding upwards to arrive at multiples of one day (aka 24 hours), you will usually not notice the effects, unless you start playing with nations that have very low skilled research teams.
