Age of Empires III: DE III - Report a Bug

:arrow_forward: GAME INFORMATION

  • GAME BUILD #: 39346
  • GAME PLATFORM: Steam
  • OPERATING SYSTEM: Windows 10

:arrow_forward: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

Not sure if this is intended behavior or a bug, but anyways…

On Niger River, the spawned watchtower at the river crossing counts against your build limit but cannot be upgraded or train units

:arrow_forward: FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

  • 100% of the time / matches I play (ALWAYS)

:arrow_forward: REPRODUCTION STEPS

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Play an African Civ on Niger River
  2. Note that watchtower build is 1/7 and you cannot train mercs or upgrade the tower

:arrow_forward: EXPECTED RESULT

The watchtower should either be a separate class of defensive building (like on Siberia) that doesn’t count toward your build limit, or have the same behavior as a built watchtower.
