ISSUE EXPERIENCED

^{DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.}
The Early defense art of war mission allows you to age up with the Ethiopian Queen politician. Doing so does not trigger the win condition and it ages you up slowly when the marksman politician ages you up instantly.

EXPECTED RESULT

^{What was SUPPOSED to happen if the bug you encountered were not present?}
It should either not be available in the mission or it should age up instantly and trigger the win condition like the Marksman politician does.

Every time devs make change in a civ that appears in SP content, they should check that content to prevent this from happening. Ethiopian queen is a recent addition to Portuguese, so they probably didn’t checked the art of war to see if it was affected, and it was.

Correct trigger:

Result:

In a similar issue to the Early Defense mission, The “Treasures” art of war lets you age up with the Imam politician when aging up should be disabled. It also lets you build a tavern.

To Solve the issue of building the Tavern, the deTavern unit need to be added to the list of Forbidden Units.

For the age up, I think there is an issue with this trigger:

It seems that the “DERemoveNewPoliticians” tech does not remove the new politicians that were added after DE was released. This would include the Imam, The Ethiopian Queen, Italy Logistician, The Medici, Italy Merc Contractor, Italy Papal Guard, The Pope, The Royalist, Maltese Logistician, Maltese Merc Contractor, Maltese Papal Guard, The Scottish Marshall, The Black Duke, Portuguese Logistician, and maybe others?

These are the politicians the tech currently affects:
