:play_button: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

Ambush Site ‘Fire a volley of arrows’ is not working

:play_button: FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

  • 100% of the time / matches I play (ALWAYS)

:play_button: REPRODUCTION STEPS

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. The capture process works as intended.
  2. According to the scenario instructions, click the “Fire a volley of arrows” button when the Athenian troops appear.
  3. No arrow volley animation is triggered, no Athenian units are killed, and only the cooldown timer functions normally.
  4. The same issue occurs at all three Ambush Sites where the arrow attack is supposed to take place.
  5. The “Unleash a rockslide” ability works as intended.

:play_button: EXPECTED RESULT

The intended design is to reduce the number of Athenian troops passing through the ambush sites, but if this problem remains unresolved, it will cause major issues in progressing through the scenario.

Having the exact same issue. Made similar changes to try and fix. No mods active. restarted everything. Arrow Volly never fires but rockslides work.
Makes this mission unplayable and therefore unable to progress the rest of the campaign.

I’m also having the same issue. Is there a way to fix this?

Same. Extremely frustrating to be locked out of most of the content I paid for

Same Problem here. I try to Disable the Mods and even change the language to English but nothing has worked

They keep breaking stuff. When I train archers, it appears that hand cannoneers are being trained. When I try training some units in Battle For Greece, it says something like “/p send you /s gold” even though it should say “not enough gold”. Some of the UI is jumbled up, and they had problems like this 2 years ago when the ‘y’ button on Xbox would ring the town centre bell, when it was supposed to train a villager.
