Arena of the Gods - Enemies get benefit of the blessings?

Age of Mythology: Retold Report a Bug
1

  • Game Version: v.100.17.46557.0

  • Build Number: 16340556

  • Platform: Steam

  • Operating System: Windows 10

Issue:

I am not sure if this is a bug or if it is supposed to be intended behavior. But it certainly appears like some of the Blessings I choose end up benefiting the enemy players in addition to me. I am thinking specifically of Kastor’s Elite Guard and Gaia’s Lashing Roots, which seem to give the enemy players similar bonuses (an expanded number of starting troops and heroes that do area damage).

Trigger Event:

Play an Arena of the Gods scenario with those blessings on.

Repro Steps:

I have tried this with 3 specific scenarios. 19B, 17A, and 12B.
I have the Heroic versions of the two Blessings mentioned.

  1. Start the scenario with the two Blessings.
  2. Allow the scenario to run for about 30 seconds to allow all the units to spawn in.
  3. Resign and view the map to see enemy unit numbers and whether enemy heroes such as Priests have the bonus Area of Effect.

This happens every single map with every single blessing. For some reason the devs coded for P2 to have the blessing because of coop, but if you play solo P2 is the enemy, and only P2 has the blessings which just proves my claim. This bug literally makes the game mode pointless bcs blessings are useless unless you abuse the OP ones, and it is so infuriating to want to enjoy this gamemode but being unable to because of this
