:play_button: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

Cao Cao 1: The Yellow Turban Rebellion has a decision to spare or execute the monks.
Deciding to spare them says that you’ll start with several monks through this campaign with Redemption researched. This doesn’t happen in the next scenario and the Decisions tab for Cao Cao 1 still says “Play this scenario to view these decisions”.

Loading a prior save doesn’t work either (either before or after making the decision). While loading the save game, the game also doesn’t prompt asking whether decisions should be saved or not. The decisions tab in the Objectives window while playing the game does seem to record this but it seems to be unused for future scenarios.

Attached the saved game and recorded game for reference. Notice that the recorded game goes out of sync at the time the decision is made (which is another bug).

Decisions should carry over from this scenario through the campaign as indicated.
