> ## Issue:

Eidolon units get inconsistent tags.

I’m not sure how Eidolon are _supposed_ to work in terms of what techs they have, whether they’re Medium/Heavy, have Copper, Bronze armour, etc.

But currently what shows is _definitely_ an unintended bug. I don’t know how to reproduce it exactly, but it’s possible to get into a situation where clicking on the unit, the main display shows “Medium”, but the preview window shows “Heavy”. The preview window also shows “Heavy Fire Archer”, without mentioning “Eidolon”.

> ### Trigger Event:

(what was happening at the time of the performance/stability issue)  
(this could be an action you or another player took right before the issue started)

> ### Repro Steps:

Unsure.

Possibly:

1. Have a Chinese ally build Fire Archers
2. Have those Fire Archers die
3. Research Medium Archer
4. Cast Underworld Invasion
5. Research Heavy Archer
