Im not sure if its a bug. I saved a fluid ideology. Then started another game and selected "load ideology" from the three options and started playing... About 4 hours in I noticed I wasnt getting any points and turns out it was a static ideology.
I know this can be avoided if instead you go to create ideology THEN load, instead of loading and skipping the screen, but I think its misleading that says load but it only load static ideologies.
