Jeanne D'Arc gets extra experience when destroying rus hunting cabins

Game Version: aoeliverelease2 age4 9.2.628.0

Bug: Jeanne D’Arc gets 50 additional experience when destroying a rus hunting cabin. On top of the expected 10 experience for destroying the building (or being near it when it is destoryed), she will get an additional 50 experience 1-3 seconds afterwards.

The bug was first noticed in a ranked 1v1 ladder game on Golden pit. The bug was reproduced in a skirmish game vs ai on dry arabia twice. In these examples, Jeanne was level 2 (woman-at-arms, melee form) or level 3. One occurrence was in fuedal age, the other 2 were in castle age. Jeanne, along with other units including knights, rams, spears, and/or men at arms, destroyed an Rus hunting cabin. She received 10 experience immediately and an additional 50 experience shortly after. As far as I could tell, there was no other explanation for the experience gain (no units killed, other buildings destroyed, or sacred site capture)

Reproduction steps:

  • Start a game with Jeanne D’Arc on one team and rus on an opposing team
  • Have the rus player build a hunting cabin
  • Note Jeanne D’Arc’s current experience progress and make sure to have at least 100 remaining experience until her next level up immediately before completing the next step
    • The bug was observed with Jeanne D’Arc partially through level 2 and paritally through level 3, so it may be a good idea to reproduce the bug while Jeanne is level 2/3
  • have the Jeanne D’Arc player destroy the hunting cabin with the Jeanne D’Arc hero unit close enough to receive experience from the destruction
    • try not to have any other buildings destroyed or units killed around this time to make it easier to observe the experience gained by destroying the hunting cabin
  • Observe the xp drop above Jeanne D’Arc’s hero unit. You should observe both a “+10” experience drop, as well as a “+50” experience drop s###### after
  • Observe Jeanne D’Arc’s experience progress towards her level up. You should see that is slightly more than 60 than it was previously
    • 60 experience came from the hunting cabin, and she also should have gotten 1 experience every 2 seconds from her passive experience gain
