Pharaoh/priest empowerment bug

Age of Mythology: Retold Report a Bug

  • Game Version: Premium

  • Build Number: v100.18.40371.0 (564659R)

  • Platform: Steam

  • Operating System: Windows 11

Issue:

Pharaohs and priests no longer automatically empower buildings when they’re selected with villagers and a new building is started. This was not the case up until ow. This might pertain to this change from the recent patch:

When placing down buildings with multiple units selected, only units capable of working on the placed foundation are now correctly tasked to it.

But the pharaohs and priests are clearly capable of working a foundation by empowering it. So this exclusion seems like an oversight and in any case is a big quality of life downgrade when playing the Egyptians.

Repro Steps:

  • Select a group of laborers and a pharaoh/Ra priest
  • Place a building foundation
  • The laborers will move to start building the pharaoh/priest won’t respond and continue their current behaviour.
