Act 3 scenario 1 "Race for the rails" can't be beaten (seriously, can you fix the campaigns already?)

:arrow_forward: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

:point_down: DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.
When playing the first scenario of the 3rd act, building all the trading posts in the trade route DOES NOT makes you win the scenario. Destroying the enemy doesn’t, either. Upgrading them to trains won’t do it. It can’t be beaten, and it never had this issue before. Also, the secondary objective (ally with any native tribe) only triggers when you ally with both of them, not “any”. I don’t remember if this was like this in the original but wouldn’t hurt to take a look at it.
Can I request that you test EVERY scenario before you launch the next update? It seems like every month the campaigns are getting more broken with new bugs while old bugs take longer to be fixed.

Sorry to hear that, I completed it yesterday so not sure what can be the reason for that. It worked normally for me.

Can confirm that this also happened to me. I reloaded an earlier save that I did in the same game, and tried again and it worked. But this issue is a thing, at least it was for me.
