:play_button: GAME INFORMATION

  • GAME BUILD 100.19.18309.0
  • GAME PLATFORM: Steam
  • OPERATING SYSTEM: Windows 11

:play_button: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

Quite simple. The AI when governing Hausa Behavior is building only one house. This makes them really easy to beat because they have no army or economy.

:play_button: FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

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

:play_button: REPRODUCTION STEPS

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Play Skirmish against AI Hausa. Hard/Hardest difficulty.

  2. Enable the global LOS cheat.

  3. Watch.

:play_button: EXPECTED RESULT

AI builds more than 1 house, as a result has military units other than native allies in small numbers. Is able to build an economy and support attacks.

This is a view of an AI Hausa base at 30 minutes in. I have only attacked them at sea. There are 10 villagers, and a small force of alliance 0 pop units.

This is also affecting the Ethiopians. Got quite a laugh when Tewodros complained about not having a home. He had palaces not houses.

“We’re not playing a game mode with a standard start, don’t need to do this custom selling.”

Yeah but we probably still need to turn on the houseMonitor don’t we?
