Did you trigger another ending before the science ending? Load your save file and check the settings.

To be safe turn off all other end conditions while setting up a new game.

The update isn't starting for me, the game is still in the old version and no mention of the Da Vinci event. i've tried restarting Steam a few times, but no luck so far.

Is it possible that you've opted before to use a beta version under Game Properties>Betas section?

Also, did you try verifying game files? It usually solves a lot of issues after updates of any game.

Verifying the files solved the issue!

Does "destroy fortification" include ransacking,or bombardment only？And does it mean garrison district only？

Any answers?

Any way to see the event status within the game?

• Machines of War: Destroy the fortifications on 10 tiles during the same game.

I too would like to know? 

I have ransacked 3 fortifications (Strongholds) and the bar is not progressing for this achievement in the menu?

Can anyone elaborate on how this is done/if you have done it? It seems very vague...

Pretty sure destroying fortifications counts only dropping it to 0 during battle, via Siege Weapons or heavy ships, not destroying a tile that also happens to be fortified.

I used Aerodromes with Biplanes and then used the "Air Strike" action to destroy some enemy districts. Very easy.

I just sailed some battleships to coastal Independent People, which reminded me that units with ability to destroy fortifications still can't target units standing on destroyed fortifications.

This event was (thankfully) much easier to complete than the previous ones, took me about 3 hours on blitz to do all challenges. 

Some things to note: 

• "Machines of War" requires you to destroy fortifications during battles, such as when besieging a city, and is most easily done with siege weapons.
• "Flight of Birds" requires that you pick a science culture to able to research the techs of the next era, as the Biplane tech is in the industrial era.
• "Live with Passion" is easily done by enacting the civics furthest out on the civics screen as they swing the Ideology Axis the most.
• "Eternal City" requires that all the wonders are within ONE city, and can therefore not be spread out across your empire, but this can be circumvented by absorbing cities later on.
• "La Serenissima" requires that you be the Venetians, which is an Early Modern Era culture, so you must therefore transcend twice, in the Industrial Era and Contemporary Era respectively, in order to achieve it. The "Science End Condition" in this case is researching all techs in the tech tree, not building the Mars Colony national project, so to make things easier it is beneficial to pick science cultures before you reach the Early Modern Era to reduce the amount of grinding to produce science later in the game.

I can confirm that you just need an Early Modern Era culture (transcended), as I got it as Industrial Venetians.

The Civ Engineer- 

Live with Passion: Ideologies can be on either side mixed together as long as all four are maxed out.

• Live with Passion: Max out all 4 Ideology Axis, on either side.

This requires that you are either entirely to the left or the right on all 4?

I just got this achievement by maxing out all 4 Ideology's to the left at the same time. What I don't know is if you're required to do all 4 at the same time, or just do all 4 at some point in the same game.

So I just got the last tech and game didnt end; seems it was set was set to space race. Any way to fix this? Or do I have to start all over in which case Ill probably just blow it off.

I changed to easy and blitz and pounded through. An interesting experience cause I hadnt tried that before but rather unsatisfying

You have to have in a point in the game the 4 maximized (no matter if its on the left or the right) at the same time.
For example in my game I already have max the first 2 and I am on my way to max the others (waiting for some events and civics to move the other 2 axis).

Problem with La Serenissima:  I've completed it twice now but it hasn't been recognized for the event, I've also completed Flight of birds and Machines of War in the same game which were recognized, so it isn't a problem with the connection to G2G. I even loaded a save game and completed it again but still not recognized.
