:point_down: DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.
The " I Wonder Why I Did That?" added with Return of Rome has the following description:

Win a game by constructing a Wonder in Return of Rome.

In a skirmish, the achievement unlocks immediately upon building a Wonder, not when the game is ended.

This happened to me too in Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition: Return of Rome.
I played a 1v1 skirmish as Egyptians against Sumerians against the AI. I was allied with the AI.

As soon as I began building a wonder, the wonder timer appeared and began counting down even though the unfinished wonder build progress was still at 2/500. I removed the workers and let the timer count down, causing a win, even though the wonder was not completed.

I think the main bug is probably that the timer seemed to count down when the wonder was started, rather than when it was finished like in age of empires 2.

I played another game and after capturing all ruins causing the ruin timer to appear before starting the wonder, and the wonder timer did not appear.

I just played another game with similar settings (1v1 against AI, both on same team), and began building a wonder, but the bug did not occur this time. When the wonder construction began, the wonder countdown timer did not begin. The timer only began counting down when the wonder was completed, as it was supposed to. Then the wonder timer caused the win, without causing any bugs.

Thank you, I reported this issue to the team and we’re now tracking this issue :slight_smile:
