[BUG] [Scenario Editor] Modify Attribute Effect not removing visual glow from heroes/not adding visual glow to units

GAME INFORMATION BUILD #: 43210.0 PLATFORM: Steam OS: Windows 10 ISSUE EXPERIENCED I am trying to remove the hero glow from the Jarl and Vasco de Gama units for a scenario in which non-traditional units may be produced at regular buildings for certain players.

Secondary projectiles behave as if they had an area attack

I did find one workaround, but that workaround is really bad and shouldn’t even be considered a workaround. what I could do is give chu ko nus only one projectile and then divide their reload time by the number of projectiles they had. but that would look stupid. you would have a chu ko nu with a machine gun. same for every other unit with secondary projectiles like castles. also for the asthetic it needs to have multiple projectiles. seeing many arrows fly somewhere just feels satisfying to me.…

[Harooooo1]

Yeah there’s quite many issues with the Scenario Editor atm. I wish they would focus on it a bit more in a patch, since the Scenario Editor is a great place where many new interesting ideas and modes were first created.

I added these bugs you mentioned to my unofficial list of bugs also

I want to add a small one:
Using the Swap Players button switches all resources and options except for Pop Limit.
