ISSUE EXPERIENCED
DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.
There is a secondary objective to Capture the Statue of Helios (relic) before it leaves the city and choose who should receive the Statue of Helios:
Either Take it to Pausanias’ Town Center.
or Take it to Polycritus’ transport ship next to your base.
I was able capture it and place it on the Polycritus’s transport ship, see attached image, but it never registered in the game and shows this secondary mission as incomplete. The result is I didn’t get the achievement “Reject the Regent”. For info, this was the second run of the scenario, in the first run it does register when you take the relic to Pausanias Town Centre and I did get that achievement ( Philolacon : Give a relic to the Spartans in both “Across the Wine-Dark Sea” and “Wrath of the Regent” - done in my first run)
In my second run of the two missions, to obtain the Reject the Regent achievement, I successfully gave the relic to Salamis in “Across the Wine-Dark Sea” . Only in “Wrath of the Regent” it doesn’t register when placing the relic on the transport ship of Polycritus, as per the conditions of the secondary mission.
FYI, On another gaming website, TrueAchievements, I saw another gamer had mentioned the same issue in 9 March 2025, see copy past below of his comment:
""So I grabbed the cart, carried it via transport to Greek Navy and went to the temple and town center. I had previously carried the relic to Salamis in “Across the Wind-Dark Sea” which activated once I got near the temple. So I could find NO listing for Polycritus but a search appears to be he is on a boat. I checked each ship but no Polycritus. So where do I carry the relic?
