Executive Order - Print money duration penalty bug

from GalCiv4 Forums

Hello. 

I have observed that if use the Executive Order - Print Money, the approval penalty remains over 12 months-turns. 

Here is a save at turn 35 where picked a second Print Money EO desiding to create a post for this but (see attached save).

Turn 49, both the Print Money penalties are still in effect. (see attached save).

What is the definition of "a year" in game? Because as you see the penalty remains for the first Print Money over 20+ months/turns.

Actually took it around turn 10 and now is on turn (month) 50. 

See image attached.

The penalty does eventually go away, but yes, it's either a bug or an error the description. 

Personally, a 12-turn penalty for 500bc is pretty minor, generally speaking.  So I'm suspecting that the duration got increased at some point but the description never got updated.

-10% approval can cripple the game completely for all those turns. 
Because is -10% on production and research etc.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention and for providing a savegame. I will pass it along to the developers to take a look.

This bug is still in effect in the current official Supernova release (2.1.x). The "Print Money" description still says "12 months", but the Approval penalty hasn't gone away after twice that many turns.
