Folwark/Mill faulty in Campaign: Joan of Arc - The Rising

Age of Empires II: DE Ask for Help

Hi all,

Been playing AOE since late nineties, BUT, not a serious gamer, just off-and-on whenever the urge strikes. Consider me a noob (of 25 years) :joy: :sweat_smile:

I reconnected with AOE2DE a few weeks ago, and decided to play the campaigns. Have never done them before. Just played multiplayer with friends & fam.

When reaching ā€œThe Risingā€ in the Joan of Arc campaign, there is an oddity with the initial Mill (when clicking on it, it says Folwark, though, but it looks like a mill) that I am uncertain about:

  1. My villagers do not take any food (be it berries or farming) to it. They walk all the way down to the town centre. If I actively select a villager, and force it to go to that initial Mill (Folwark), it does drop the food into it, but, if I do not micro each and every villager every single time, they just ignore it.
  2. The ā€œResearch Crop Rotationā€ upgrade shows up in the building, but it is greyed out. Also the same on all mills.
  3. If I build a new mill, the villagers use it as expected

Did I miss something, or is there some error with that building in that campaign?

Second sounds like not a bug: do you have the setting so that upgrades that will be available in future ages show up, but grayed out?

First should probably be reported in the Bug Report forum, though I donā€™t know how reliably that gets bugs fixed. Can anyone confirm this bug? (I donā€™t have DE)
