Ordinarily I would break these up into different threads, but it’s compounding issue.
GAME INFORMATION
- GAME BUILD #: 15.30007
- GAME PLATFORM: Steam
- OPERATING SYSTEM: Windows 11
ISSUE EXPERIENCED
Buccaneers, the pirate upgrade available to Haiti through a home city card, gains a ranged attack. This unit is severely bugged. The issues include:
- The ranged attack value does not change when the unit is in cover mode
- Despite lacking the tags “Rifle Infantry” or “Gunpowder Infantry”, the unit benefits from Counter-Infantry Rifling, Paper Cartridges, and Flint Lock. This may be intended behavior, but the lack of tags makes this difficult to counter
- Despite having a ranged attack, they will still default to melee if out of melee range but still close to the target (seems to be around 4 range)
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
- 100% of the time / matches I play (ALWAYS)
REPRODUCTION STEPS
Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:
- Play as France
- Send Advanced Arsenal card
- Revolt to Haiti
- Send Letters of Marque card
- Train pirates
- Check attack and hp after researching arsenal techs
- Put the unit in cover mode
- Attack something at close range but outside melee range
EXPECTED RESULT
- Cover mode should halve ranged attack, like for all other attacks and units
- Tags should be added to Buccaneers appropriate to the techs that boost them or these techs should not apply
- The unit should only attack in melee when in melee range
