Faith of Castile Passive Fails to Apply in Team Games (Knights Templar - Kingdom of Castile)

Game Version:

13.2.4553.0


Summary:

When playing as the Knights Templar and selecting the Kingdom of Castile Commandarie in Castle Age, the Faith of Castile (Passive) sometimes fails to activate. Units positioned near Sacred Sites do not receive healing or any visible buff. This issue has occurred in approximately 40% of games, based on personal observation.


Details:

  • Occurs only in team ranked games so far; not tested in solo or custom games.
  • Faith of Castile passive does not apply near Sacred Sites (regardless of site ownership).
  • No healing or stat buff is visible.
  • The Commandarie is visibly active (flags present on structures).
  • A possible pattern is that opponents often also have a Knights Templar player, but their Commandarie selection seems unrelated.
  • No specific triggering events observed (e.g., aging up, battles, surrenders).

Reproduction Steps:

  1. Start a team ranked match (2v2, 3v3, or 4v4).
  2. Choose the Knights Templar civilization.
  3. Age up to Castle Age and select the Kingdom of Castile Commandarie.
  4. Move units near any Sacred Site (neutral, ally-controlled, or enemy-controlled).
  5. Observe that the Faith of Castile passive does not apply — no healing or buff visible.
  6. Take note of opposing team compositions — issue may appear more frequently when they also include Knights Templar players.

Evidence:

Video footage is available on request, showing:

  • Units on Sacred Sites receiving no healing or buff.
  • Kingdom of Castile flags clearly visible on Commandarie-affected structures (e.g., TC or Fort).
  • Willing to share via YouTube after processing.

Again, this only occurs occasionally.

I’ve also seen it bug out when the buff has applied and there are a load of other buff applied through other Commandaries or Technologies (i.e., attack bonus is being reported as a debuff and as seconds?)

Edit: I suppose Camel Unease may be playing a role in this specific issue. Interesting to note, nonetheless.
