Spies/Treason does not research correctly as the Chinese

Age of Empires II: DE II - Report a Bug
1

:arrow_forward: GAME INFORMATION

  • GAME BUILD #: 99404
  • GAME PLATFORM: Steam
  • OPERATING SYSTEM: Windows 11

:arrow_forward: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

When playing as the Chinese, when you click on the Spies/Treason technology with enough gold, it will take a portion of the gold away but you won’t be able to research it.

: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 as the Chinese
  2. Click on the Spies/Treason Technology with enough gold
  3. You will lose some gold when you click on it, but the bottom will say “Cannot research Spies/Treason… Not enough resources.” and the tech will not be researched.

:arrow_forward: EXPECTED RESULT

:point_down: What was SUPPOSED to happen if the bug you encountered were not present?
The tech is not researched but you lose a good chunk of gold.

From my experience, it looks like this tech instead costs 20% more gold to research as the Chinese.

Hi @Serene0509
I watched your video and saw that you have some UI mods enabled, could you try disabling mods and trying again?
Thanks for the report :slight_smile:
