[Bug] Tariq 5 Intercepting Transport Exploit From HD Still Works

Age of Empires II: DE II - Report a Bug
1

Game Version:

  • Build (34223)
  • Platform (Steam)

Issue:

Having a unit here let’s you capture your transport of villagers early. This causes the AIs to never activate. This existed in HD as well.

Reproduction Steps:

  1. Kill three Monasteries
  2. Have a unit to capture this transport
  3. Unload villagers
  4. Task villagers to wood
  5. Build a farm with all five villagers to drop off wood
  6. Build up without worry

Have a unit here:

See that enemy scores don’t really change but you can build up:

This is normally what happens if you play the mission as intended, see the score:

Fix would probably just be having the player start with zero wood.
