RMS bug: Connection to non-player land breaks other connections

Age of Empires II: DE II - Report a Bug
1

Game Version:

  • Build 10 March 2020
  • Platform Steam

Issue:

create_connect_to_nonplayer_land blocks all future connection generations.
Additionally it blocks all team connection generation (except those involving player 1), when used after create_connect_teams_lands

Reproduction Steps:

/* example script */
<PLAYER_SETUP>
random_placement

<LAND_GENERATION>
base_terrain WATER

create_player_lands {
terrain_type GRASS
land_percent 20
circle_radius 40 0
}
create_land {
terrain_type DESERT
land_position 50 50
land_percent 10
}

<CONNECTION_GENERATION>

create_connect_to_nonplayer_land
{
default_terrain_replacement ROAD
}
create_connect_all_lands
{
default_terrain_replacement ICE
}

/* observe that the road connections generate but the ice connections do not */

I sadly confirm the issue is still present after the July 2020 update.

Last time I checked it was. However, the rms community has learned some tricks that can be used to manipulate connections by exploiting the fact that terrains with a cost of 0 cannot be crossed, and impossible connections are not created.
