### ▶ GAME INFORMATION

- **GAME BUILD** #: 185872
- **GAME PLATFORM:** Steam
- **OPERATING SYSTEM:** Windows 10

### ▶ ISSUE EXPERIENCED

The Saxon Foederati tech was changed from 968 to 1180, but trigger “「Make 12+ Work」” still checks the old tech ID (968). As a result, the 13th recruitment never works: no new Foederati are spawned, and the tech disappears permanently after being researched.

I’m not sure if this is intended in the current version, but it seems to be a bug.

### ▶ FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

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

### ▶ REPRODUCTION STEPS

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Research the Saxon recruitment technology 12 times and recruit the troops normally.

2. Research the recruitment technology one more time (the 13th time).
