ISSUE EXPERIENCED

^{DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.}

Certain AI enemies/allies are incapable of playing elements of the game. I noticed something was off with my AI ally in an earlier game because it was way behind in civ performance than everyone else, but I assumed it had simply been 2v1’d. Unfortunately I never recorded that first game. In my second game, I discovered this is a repeating occurrence. After rewatching the replay, the most notable bug with the ai behavior is that some AI players—and I’m unsure if its a result of the civ or AI#—don’t gather all resources available to them. Of the 5 AIs, 3 of them never got past Age1 because they didn’t know how to hunt. Meanwhile, the remaining 2 of them play as you would normally expect managed to reach Age3. (See attachment)

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

^{How often does the issue occur? CHOSE ONE; DELETE THE REST!}

100% of the time / matches I play (ALWAYS) (I have only played 2 games so far, not in the mood to try another.)

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:

Skirmish mode
I will attach a screenshot of the match parameters for the game in case something there affects AI behavior

EXPECTED RESULT

^{What was SUPPOSED to happen if the bug you encountered were not present?}

I have never played AoE1 so I have no clue if this behavior is normal but I would assume there should at least be some consistent performance in AI behavior for all players.

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.}
