Coinage was researched. Then tribute was sent of 1000 gold to County of Namur by clicking shift and the send gold button twice in the market (to add up to 1000 gold). No trigger occurred.
The 1000 gold was sent again and no trigger occurred.
The County of Namur changed diplomatic stance to enemy when queued.

Yes,

It looks like it is an issue related to AI scripts code lines not being readed correctly by the game following the last March update.

The lines in question are:

(defrule
(players-tribute player’s number gold >= amount)
=>
(set-signal number)
(clear-tribute-memory amount gold)
(disable-self)
)

I reckon that the condition line is what causes the problem.

(players-tribute player’s number gold >= amount)

It affects official and custom scenarios alike at the moment.

Same answer than what I’ve written in another post about the same bug.

Tributes doesn’t work in some campaign scenarios after the latest update, it’s an issue the team is currently working on.
