I strongly encourage you to get 1.7.2, which has lots
of improvements and bug fixes.

Have you checked that someone else hasn't built the Lighthouse?
(Each wonder can only be built once.)  Or is it possible that
someone else already has Magnetism?  There was a change in 1.7.2 
which could be related to your problem, but I'm not sure...

Only Map Making actually.  Its true that normally you have to get 
Alphabet to get Map Making, but not always.  Its possible that you
could get Map Making by conquering, without knowing Alphabet.
