:backhand_index_pointing_down: DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.

While playing as the Jurchens, Military or Town Center kills against boars or deer seemingly still decay food. If, however, the huntables are slain with villagers, the food does not decay, so this is unique to the Jurchens.

:play_button: REPRODUCTION STEPS

:backhand_index_pointing_down: List CLEAR and DETAILED STEPS we can take to reproduce the issue ourselves… Be descriptive!

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Load up any standard game.
  2. Bring huntable under the town center (Deer, Boar, Ibex, etc.).
  3. Kill the animal with Town Center arrows (it must land the kill).
  4. At this point, the food decays.

:backhand_index_pointing_down: What was SUPPOSED to happen if the bug you encountered were not present?

The huntable animal’s food amount would not decay over time.

:play_button: IMAGE

:backhand_index_pointing_down: ALWAYS attach a PICTURE (.jpg, .png, .gif) or VIDEO (.mp4, YouTube link) that highlights the problem.


This video shows what happens when a Town Center kills the boar, but this is also true for Jurchen military units.

Not sure if this is a bug. The bonus was supposed to target at villager kills only.

Yeah, that’s something I considered. But, I figured I’d make a report anyway, just in case that wasn’t intended. Because the way the civ bonus is worded, it doesn’t seem to delineate whether it’s a military or villager kill:

Meat of hunted and livestock animals does not decay.

Which, if intended, it might just be helpful to reword it to something like this to remove any confusion:

Meat of hunted and livestock animals killed by villagers does not decay.

Or something like that. Just my thoughts though.
