Camel Aura Reduces Cavalry Damage by 50% Instead of 20%

Age of Empires IV IV - Report a Bug
1

Build Number: 14.0.4963

Platform: Steam

Operating System: Windows 11

Issue:

Camels used to reduce cavalry damage by 20%, but now — for some reason — they reduce it by 50%, even though the description still says 20%.
This is a serious issue because a 50% reduction makes cavalry almost completely useless. Even 20% is strong, but 50% is way too much.

This might be either a tooltip (description) error or a balance/stat bug.

Trigger Event:

I noticed this during a 4v4 match.

Repro Steps:

  1. Train Camel Riders or Camel Archers.
  2. Fight against enemy cavalry near camels.
  3. Observe that enemy cavalry deals 50% less damage, not 20% as stated in the description.

Just have checked, elite lancer does 23 damage to camel archer instead of 29, so it is 20% reduction and not 50%.
