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.

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…
