### ▶ GAME INFORMATION

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

- **GAME BUILD** #: 101.103.54800.0 (#185872) 25464371
- **GAME PLATFORM:** Steam
- **OPERATING SYSTEM:** Windows 10

### ▶ ISSUE EXPERIENCED

👇 _DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE_ BUG PER THREAD.

Tupi unit does not refund 15% of their cost when they die in battle. When killed by enemy units, they die and nothing happens.  
BUT, if you select the units and delete them, the refund works.

### ▶ 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!_

See video below for more info, but in general, fight any unit with the Tupi and look at your resources, it will not go up when your unit dies in combat.  
But if you delete it manually, the refund will happen.

### ▶ EXPECTED RESULT

👇 _What was SUPPOSED to happen if the bug you encountered were not present?_

15% of the unit cost should be given when any non-siege unit dies in combat.

### ▶ IMAGE

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

Any update on this? Is this at least on the Devs radar? An entire civ bonus not working properly seems rather important.
