  • GAME BUILD #: v. 100.12.43871.0
  • GAME PLATFORM: Steam
  • OPERATING SYSTEM: Windows 10

:arrow_forward: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

Team Cheap Church Card, when sent, does not reduce the cost of non-unique church upgrades.

: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 1v1 Skirmish or Multiplayer as the French with the Team Cheap Church Card in the deck.
  2. Send the card.
  3. Build a church. (The church’s cost is correctly reduced to 30 wood).
  4. Check the costs of Church Techs (non-unique techs, such as Town Watch, Gas Lighting, etc.).

:arrow_forward: EXPECTED RESULT

Church upgrades such as Town Watch, Gas Lighting, Mercantilism, Standing Army, Mass Cavalry have their costs reduced by 50%.

@IkoKnight8151 As per the latest update, why have Bastions and Mercantilism costs not reduced to accordingly? Right now, the card seems so underwhelming, it just looks like a waste of space for an Age 2 card in a French player’s deck.

you should make PUP have multiplayer lobby so we can really test it

5

It does have it
20 characters

6

no, ive never have found any player on PUP

7

You can’t play with people nor see lobbies on other version of the game, but if you create a lobby and invite someone with the pup, you can play Mp with them. It would be nice if people that try it when it becomes available could coordinate to play online together

8

The reason for that is basically no one uses the multiplayer in the beta, so no one hosts lobbies and therefore no one joins

9

but can i create a lobby and then invite a friend sending the id of the match?
