ISSUE EXPERIENCED
DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.
On Tamar 4 (Tamar the Builder), Alexios, and later Trebizond if you help him claim the city, are incorrectly set to “Enemy” towards the player. This persists trough multple restarts of the level with the player starting out as Ally towards Alexios, but Alexios starting out as Enemy towards the player.
Scripting around meeting him to start his objective, as well as capturing Trebizond for him works fine. However his units will persist in attacking the player, thus making the defence of Trebizond impossible.
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
How often does the issue occur? CHOSE ONE; DELETE THE REST!
100% of the time / matches I play (ALWAYS)
REPRODUCTION STEPS
List CLEAR and DETAILED STEPS we can take to reproduce the issue ourselves… Be descriptive!
Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:
Launch Tamar 4 (Tamar the Builder)
Send a unit to meet with Alexios when prompted to do so.
Watch said unit get killed by Alexios and his men.
EXPECTED RESULT
What was SUPPOSED to happen if the bug you encountered were not present?
Alexios and his men were supposed to be set to Ally towards the player.
ALWAYS attach a PICTURE (.jpg, .png, .gif) or VIDEO (.mp4, YouTube link) that highlights the problem.
Attach a SAVE GAME (.aoe2spgame) or GAME RECORDING (.aoe2record) of the match where you encountered the issue. Link it below if using an external file service.
New user – unable to upload. Should however be unnecessary for the bug at hand.
The bug still exists in 101.103.16877.0. A fix would be appreciated for Tamar’s sake
A small workaround is to quickly have one unit go there and trigger the meeting and Alexios’ request for help, without staying there and immediately retracting, while the dialogue goes on. The units from Alexios then stay put until you “take” the city.
Be aware, that after taking the city, the city switches to allied and Alexios rides into the city to build the wonder. If there is anything in their path of you, you may also get attacked. Until building the wonder you may encounter some of his units that attack you. You have the possibility to put your stance to hostile though and can kill the units attacking you, but, in general, I would stay clear unless you have to defend Trebizond from the Rum Sultanate coming from the west. This might get a bit tricky. Also after the wonder is build, Alexios’ (who I think dies, while attacking the Sultanate) troops attack anything from you that is between Trebizond and the Sultanate. Therefore, your less chaotic option would be to keep attacking the Sultanate from the south and south west with the help also from the Z Brothers.
There is also a small other bug, where the Z Brother’s army gets stuck while “treadmill walking”
Wanted to upload more screenshots but are limited due to being a nooby here.
