Set tech status of VeteranCacadoresShadow obtainable in Age0Portuguese
or just change the initial tech status of VeteranCacadoresShadow to obtainable

2

Cassador is a base age 3 units so it doesnt get shadow tech.

similar to lancer which is also a base age 3 unit

3

Every unit is coded as an age2 unit, without the veteran status.

As soon as you age up to age3 the unit always shadow techs to age 3
See falconets and skirmishers.
( The only way to access these units in age2 is trough cards ( french early skirmishers)

The veteran cassadore is only a name. The base unit ( age2 ) has exactly the same stats as the age3 unit. This is done by design and intended.

No, it’s not only a name, and if you start with post-industrial condition you will see this tech actually apply.

Also, Cassador affect by french early skirmishers card, let other civs train age 3 skirmisher with age 2 stats in age 2, but Portuguese train Cassador with age 3 stats in age 2 so ridiculous

That would mean the wiki is outdated :0

Is that mean the synergy between Cassador and French’s Early Skirmishers card (Let Portuguese mass Veteran Cassador at age 2) works as intended?
