ISSUE EXPERIENCED
DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.
Civ: Ethopia
original cost were 400 influence (mamelukes):
You need to send in a specific order: Loyalist warriors (-15% cost) and arabs alliance tech (-15% cost), then the card which convert the cost into coin/ influence
The thing if you send the split cost first, then discounts, the cost are proper 140/ 140 coin/ influence.
It’s applying to other merc too. It must be a mercenary to apply the exploit.
Regular units like imported cannons, levie gunner, conquistador don’t get affected, because they aren’t tagged as mercenaries.
Something must have broken in the calcuation, when you send discounts first! I train them to see it’s real. Yeah it’s the small coin cost.
