:arrow_forward: REPRODUCTION STEPS

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

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

It’s exactly the same condition as how I did.

  1. Choose the Chinese as your player civ.
  2. Make a trigger to enable the tech El Dorado when it is in Imperial Age. (Make sure to disable your original Imperial unique tech, of course!)
  3. Make another trigger to modify the cost of El Dorado (750F, 450G → 500W, 400G)
  4. Rename the tech El Dorado into anything you want. It’s for a custom tech.
  5. Test the scenario in the Castle Age.
  6. Advance to the Imperial Age.
  7. Satisfy the 500 Wood but Gold less than 400. (By the way, due to the Chinese bonus, the cost will be shown different. Make the Gold less than how it is shown anyway.)
  8. The tech is ready to be researched even though the Gold is still less than how it is needed!

:arrow_forward: EXPECTED RESULT

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

The tech should NOT be ready for research until you gather enough Gold.

So far, someone helped me avoid the bug–adjusting the original cost into all 0 and then what I wanted on top of that. But it doesn’t mean I fixed the bug. You can still reproduce that bug.
