This bug is still present in the PUP for the next update, please fix it! Campaign is the entry level for many people that play the game for the first time and this looks really unpolished. It used to work ok until one update that deleted it and it never came back.

Its not that the temple doesn’t load, its the camera that hides the building because its too close (this didn’t happened at release or in legacy). I put the building somewhere else so you can see the behaviour: [[Age of Empires III Definitive Edition Bug with the Aztec Temple in the Chinese campaign] ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjTBlUZf2I4) Keep in mind this only happens with the camera in the cutscene, in a skirmish mode and photo, i…

So I went and tested, loading the map on the save editor, turns out, the whole building model was deleted, at some point, in some update, shame on them for not fixing this

The model never appeared in the editor, it is triggered by one of those triangles things in the middle. I was confused by that too but you can see it has a trigger linked to it. The problem is the camera and how the models have been set to be transparent when it its too close.

Looks like this finally got fixed in 201.19.17914.0, the open beta for The Baltic Powers. The textures are fixed, and the camera angle for the line in the screenshot in the original post was changed.
