### ▶ GAME INFORMATION

👇 _These details are CRITICAL; DO NOT skip them or your issue may not be reviewed._

- **GAME BUILD #:** 101.101.63581.0 9025584
- **GAME PLATFORM:** Steam
- **OPERATING SYSTEM:** Windows 10

### ▶ ISSUE EXPERIENCED

👇 _DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD._  
Start from 115%, petards deal `9*handicap-975` melee damage. A petard can easily destroys most units such as rams and paladins and it makes handicap game unplayable. Damage to sheep is weird too but it doesn’t effect game play.

### ▶ FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

👇 _How often does the issue occur? CHOSE ONE; DELETE THE REST!_

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

### ▶ REPRODUCTION STEPS

👇 _List CLEAR and DETAILED STEPS we can take to reproduce the issue ourselves… Be descriptive!_

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Start a game with handicap\>110%
2. Make a petard  
3.Hit any unit

### ▶ EXPECTED RESULT

👇 _What was SUPPOSED to happen if the bug you encountered were not present?_  
Petard deals only 25 melee damage and only the bonus damage is benefited by handicap.

### ▶ IMAGE

👇 _ALWAYS attach a PICTURE (.jpg, .png, .gif) or VIDEO (.mp4, YouTube link) that highlights the problem._

### ▶ GAME FILES (SAVE / RECORDING)

👇 _Attach a SAVE GAME (.aoe2spgame) or GAME RECORDING (.aoe2record) of the match where you encountered the issue. Link it below if using an external file service._
