Peru "Manco Inca" card ships the wrong version of Macemen

[AnghusKhan]

GAME INFORMATION

• GAME BUILD #: v. 100.15.59076.0 P2
• GAME PLATFORM: Steam
• OPERATING SYSTEM: Windows 10

ISSUE EXPERIENCED

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

• 100% of the matches I play

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Start game as Spain or Portugal
2. Revolt to Peru
3. Ship the “Manco Inca” card and behold the incorrect Macemen

EXPECTED RESULT

The “Champion” (Guard) Macemen from Manco Inca should have Champion stats because they are called Champion Macemen. Currently they have the same exact stats as “Elite” (Veteran) Macemen.

Really tough to find mistakes like these. You’re very skilled at this, could you please divulge your secret TESTING methods?

I think with this one I just stumbled across it. I like to experiment with cards and combinations of things, and I have an eye for detail so when something is off I can pick it up fast. In this specific case I had become aware of the misnaming of the Champion Elite units when Peru was first reworked and I was messing around with their units trying to combine things like “Peninsular Guerrillas” from Spain and Huaracas, and my bug report from back then helped fixed the Peruvian Huaracas to their current proper state (now we gotta get the Macemen).

@AnghusKhan

experiment with cards and combinations of things

interesting, how did you come up with that approach?

@AnghusKhan

my bug report from back then helped fixed the Peruvian Huaracas

remind me, when was that?

Anytime I see a cool (especially new) thing in this game I assume there’s some way it can be used in an unintended way or potentially bugged. That’s why I test stuff out before taking it to the ladder, and try to get things fixed so I can play the game without concern.

@vividlyplain

remind me, when was that?

January 5: Spanish Peru revolt "Champion Macemen/Bolas Warriors" are actually using Elite stats

very interesting

i’m going to have to consider TESTING when i work on custom maps and such… you, sir, are revolutionizing the gaming industry with this TESTING

Adding to this bug, I shamelessly plug in my request to improve historical accuracy for the Incas / Peru Revolt with this changes:

@EntombedCurve02

• Remove Manco Inca from Peru revolt (give it to the Inca):This is very clear, Manco Inca should not be a peruvian shipment, 100% it should be a Inca one, and even more, the Tupac Amaru shipment should go to Peru, at least in name, as the revolt occured in the Viceroyalty of Peru. Manco Inca, while initially sided with the spanish to preserve the empire, soon realized he was a captive more than an emperor and led and indiginous revolt as Sapa Inca, even forming the Neo Incan state, the short live sucesor of Tawantinsuyo, where he was killed by a group of spanish soldiers that sided and later betrayed him. The card can be kept the same for Inca, with the added bonus of converting all villagers into soldiers. Espadachines and Maceman are a good combo and good roster for what the rebelion was: an indiginous attack where Manco Inca itself wore spanish armor and weapons (he was very good with a horse from what I read too). It can also work as the Tupac Revolt card works, but that would be kinda odd.
• Add Tupac Amaru Revolt: This rebellion was the first major revolution within the emancipation process that took place in the Viceroyalty of Peru and served as a precedent for the wars of independence that would emerge in the Americas in the early 19th century. The causes of the rebellion included, along with opposition to the Bourbon Reforms and an economic downturn, a grassroots revival of Inca cultural identity.
  As for the Tupac Amaru revolt card for the peruvians, it could not work as it work right now, transforming inca units as european ones, so its new effect would be: Sends Tupac Amaru to the map, allows the recruitment of Inca units in the Stronghold and ships a number of Huaracas (or Inca/native units). This way, you can add Inca units to the revolt in a historically accurate way, not just “because peruvian”.
