BfG spearmen units don't have an "idle attack graphic" causing issues for non BfG civs using BfG architecture in the SE

:play_button: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

When using the battle for Greece architecture sets in the scenario editor for non - BfG civs (in my example, Romans), the “idle attack graphic” of the normal non BfG spearman unit shows. There is no way to fix this with triggers either because there is no “idle attack graphic” attribute.

100% of the time / matches I play (ALWAYS)

:play_button: REPRODUCTION STEPS

:backhand_index_pointing_down: List CLEAR and DETAILED STEPS we can take to reproduce the issue ourselves… Be descriptive!

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Load Scenario editor
  2. Pick a non BfG civ (e.g Britons) and set their architecture to a BfG civ (e.g Athenians)
  3. Place all spear line units to that player, and an attackable object
  4. Command the spearline units to attack
  5. Observe the graphic switching to the vanilla spearline graphic for “idle graphic”

:play_button: EXPECTED RESULT

Either the ‘reskined’ vanilla spearman unit should not have an idle graphic or there should be an ‘idle graphic’ for BfG spearline units (which there presently is not)

there is idle graphic attribute, it is called “standing graphics” instead of idle.

use it as a workaround for now until they fix it

in genie would look like this, in scenario editor choose standing graphic attribute if theres one

Sorry, it’s my fault for not 100% clarifying. I am referring to the “idle attack graphic” that has only been in the game for a few months, and not the “standing graphic”. I’ll edit OP. Thanks for replying and trying to help anyway though.

yea that one is new anddont think theres an attribute for it just yet

“Attack Graphic 2” is also modifiable, though, despite being as new as "Idle Attack Graphic ".

unfortunatley wouldn’t fix the issue. the only “fix” I know without data modding would be to replace the “ide attack graphic” with the BfG “Standing Graphic” but that would only be good if all civs were using BfG architecture.

iirc attack graphic 2 isn’t new and has been there for years. in GENIE, that box (attack graphic 2) has been around for at least as far as i could remember.

however this idle attack box was only recently added into genie within last few months. they’ll prob still add it to an assigned attribute in the future all we need to do is wait

Yep, this post is mostly to make the developers aware that this is in the game so they can hopefully fix it in the upcoming patch.

Still have a version of AGE from 2022 lying around, the “Attack Graphic 2” is not there. But yeah, we can only wait.

u’re right, i just checked mine and its only been there for about a year for attack graphic 2 from the 2024 sept version. i dont have prior ones aside from may 2024 and that one doesnt have it
