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

It may not be a bug but why eastern swordsmen and Norse warriors do not have bonus attack Vs buildings since they’re just a longswordmen reskin? I mean they have a bonus Vs eagles, why not buildings too which is the only point of using infantry?
They also lack 1 melee armour (which I guess it’s because it was added in a later patch) compared to the main infantry line.

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

I would argue they should get bonus against buildings to play the role they’re supposed to in custom scenarios where they replace longswordsmen for cosmetic reasons otherwise creators just need to add the bonus with triggers every single time (because no one wants to make infantry without anti building bonus).
Please let me know if this will be taken care of or not cause otherwise I need to do it myself for every scenario of mine, thanks.

I may sound like a broken record by now but, how about adding the Centurion/Elite Centurion aura to the Imperial Centurion and make the Imperial Legionary also be influenced by said aura?

To me it makes sense to have centurion with and without aura as different units since you don’t always want to have the aura and you can’t take it away with triggers I think. They left two different units cause otherwise all old scenarios would be suddenly broken because of it.
I’d say to make the normal centurion use the imperial one skin since the new one is anachronistic but this all is off topic anyway.

I think in the case of Nordic/Eastern warriors having the same bonus of the main infantry line it’s a no brainer… Who would want infantry without bonus attack against buildings? It would make life easier instead of adding it manually in every scenario…
