:arrow_forward: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

:point_down: DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.
Removed technologies count towards maximum technologies because they are not properly removed.

:arrow_forward: FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

:point_down: How often does the issue occur? CHOSE ONE; DELETE THE REST!

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

:arrow_forward: ############ STEPS

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

The easiest method is to just watch OrnLu’s video.

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Start a DM game with standard settings as any civ other than Slavs, Berbers, Saracens, Burgundians, Sicilians.
  2. Resign instantly.
  3. Observe that you have researched around 98% of the techs only.

Slavs and Saracens: Have an additional tech missing because Orthodoxy and Madrasah were not removed, they were just made unable to be researched.
Sicilians and Burgundians: They too have an additional tech missing but that is by design.
Berbers: They have only 1 missing tech, because one of the missing techs is Elite Genitour.

:arrow_forward: EXPECTED RESULT

:point_down: What was SUPPOSED to happen if the bug you encountered were not present?
100% techs should be researched theoretically.
Probably the other technology is Hunting Dogs, but I shall get back to it, which is also not removed properly.

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

I also wonder about some techs that are only available in post-imp but not regular games. Like the Xolotl Warrior post-imp upgrade. How do they interact with %age of techs?

Also how does the game count which technology is researchable, since there are 800+ techs in the game files, but only some are actually technologies.

List of technologies which need to be removed too, since these cannot be researched:
28 - Compass (Automatically researched in games starting in Castle Age)
143 - Shadow Tower Age 4
160 - Swordsman (make avail)
175 - Paladin (make avail)
186 - 2HS Swordsman (make avail)
232 - Chinese team bonus
242 - Make Demolition Ship avail
243 - Make Fire Galley avail
430 - Elite Genitour (this was the Spanish Elite Genitour)
598 - Genitour (make avail)
708 - Cuman Merc (disable)

Other technologies which may be contributing to this cause:
525 - Revetments
527 - Fire Tower

This is not an exhaustive list.
