Found the reason

the 8 and infinite xbow card is shared with port and due to the changes to the ChurchBestieros tech the card now requires the civ to have this line in the Age0 starting tech

 <effect type="TechStatus" status="obtainable">DEHCShipCrossbowShadow</effect>

This tech has only been added for Port and Germany

Thats why its only the 8 and the 10 infinite that is affected cause they are the only ones shared with Port

This needs to be fixed quick and it should be simple

The release cycles are out of the devs’ hand most of the time. Hence my mod :wink:

maybe Age of Empires should hire you as a volunteer dev xD I feel this would give the game a bit more advantage ^^

I noticed the same bug, on 8 crossbows shipment, with Malta and France

You cannot compare a hobbyist doing high-level XML code in its free time to a dev working on low-level (as in closer to machine code) C# code working under pressure. That is not fair.

Thank you, still !

But I do admit I would not mind talking to FE about lending a hand, just to see the other side…

It is still not fixed after the latest patch. Intolerable, since you already offered solution.

sorry my bad, i thought new patch was released today.

Unfortunately, I have found this bug also impacts the infinite 8 xbow shipment only available to France in the “Land Battle” Art of War Scenario. This is particularly concerning as this directly impacts new players in what is likely their first interaction with the game. This bug needs a patch immediately.
