:arrow_forward: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

:question: DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). Limit to ONE issue per thread.

I have noticed that AI players will activate repair on buildings which have already been destroyed. It seems that this happens during the period before the building’s “ruins” fully disappear.

Result is that the AI wastes resources to repair buildings which no longer exist (the buildings do not actually get revived by the repair).

Issue is not present on legacy AoE3, since AI players had no ability to perform repairs there.

:question: How often does the issue occur? CHOSE ONE; DELETE THE REST.

  • 50% of the time / matches I play (FREQUENTLY)

:arrow_forward: REPRODUCTION STEPS

:question: List the DETAILED STEPS we can take to reproduce the issue… Be descriptive!

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Play some recorded matches with AI players.
  2. Watch the recorded games closely from AI player’s point of view and catch them enabling auto-repair when there’s no valid building to be repaired.

:arrow_forward: EXPECTED RESULT

:question: What was supposed to happen if the bug you encountered were not present?

AI should never perform repair on destroyed buildings.

:arrow_forward: ACTUAL RESULT

:question: What actually happened (what went wrong) because of the issue you’re reporting?

AI wastes resources attempting to repair non-existent buildings.
