Age of Mythology: Retold Report a Bug

  • Game Version: v.100.18.21333.0

  • Build Number: 545621R

  • Platform: Steam

  • Operating System: Windows 10

Issue:

Trying to use OnHitEffects on Buck Attack typed protoactions does not work.
E.G. for a simple addition to the Battle Boar’s buck attack:

        <protoaction>
            <name>BuckAttack</name>
            <rof>0.500000</rof>
            <damage type="Hack">40.00000</damage>
            <damagebonus type="MythUnit">2.000000</damagebonus>
            <damagebonus type="Hero">0.500000</damagebonus>
            <maxrange>1.5</maxrange>
            <onhiteffect type="StatModify" duration="6.000000">
                <target attacktype="Unit"></target>
                <modify type="Armor">0.850000</modify>
                <modify type="Speed">0.850000</modify>
            </onhiteffect>
            <circularshockwave>1</circularshockwave>
            <maxsizeclass>6</maxsizeclass>
        </protoaction>

It does not apply the armor reduction or speed. It also doesn’t interact with the other on hit effects.

Trigger Event:

Simply testing out the above code produces the bug.

Repro Steps:

  1. Create an edit with a protounit with the valid Buck Attack protoaction.
  2. Start a game with this edit enabled.
  3. Witness the lack of on hit effect application.
