Barbarossa 5 (Barbarossa’s March) is broken with the recent patch and has the following issues:

  • Saracen Navy and Seljuks are set to Allies and will never attack you, making the scenario a cake walk.
  • Constantinople starts as an Enemy instead of starting as an Ally. It should become an Enemy when you try to go near the city.

  • Saracen Navy and Seljuks should be Enemies.
  • Constantinople should start as an Ally. It should become an Enemy when you try to go near the city.

Hi @InvArrow

Thanks for the report! We are looking into it.

I can confirm the same here. Even changing allies as enemies doesn’t work.
Register to post this issue, hoping it gets fixed soon.

Can confirm I’m experiencing this issue as well.

Might have to replay all the classic campaigns to check for bugs!

I am playing the campaign this month for the first time. Patch 141935 is a disaster. After messing up with all received medals I started the Barbarossa Level 5, finished it with Golden medal without loosing a unit and figured out immediately that something must be wrong with alliances in this scenario. Please fix.

I am having the same problem. Maybe it is also notable, that this bug occurs in all difficulties.

Everybody has this issue. The WE has somehow resorted to “scheduled updates” and to postpone campaign players’ issues for now…great…

Just adding my voice to the people who have already reported this. Experienced the same issue during my current full campaign playthrough.

Hi IvanHCastro! Are you guys still “looking into it”?

18

Just tried the mission and the diplomacy is still messed up

Why issues like this this much delayed to be fixed? Isn’t it just a simple issue of setting diplomacy in game? Are there any difficulty fixing it?

If this issue is that difficult to deal with, then fixing the crash and some other issues with Pastures never will be done. :frowning:

This issue has been solved for me, funny that there was never a clarification or statement here
