ISSUE EXPERIENCED

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

In multiple campaign missions across all four South American civilizations, Champi unit defaults to the Champi Scout tier at mission launch.

Many of these scenarios are set to start at Feudal, Castle, or Imperial Age by design. According to scenario logic, pre-existing Champi troops ought to spawn as their matching age tier.

I will attach a complete list of every mission with this flaw below.

Affected Campaign

Pachacuti (Inca) # 4, # 5

Lautaro (Mapuce) # 3, # 4, # 5

Arariboia (Tupi) # 2, # 3, # 4, # 5

El Dorado (Muisca) # 1, # 3, # 4, # 5
