:arrow_forward: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

The description of the bonuses granted from certain age-up politicians for Italy is wrong AFTER sending the “Advanced Politicians” homecity shipment.

: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. When playing as Italy, one of the Fortress Age Politicians is “The Gentleman Pirate” which grants 1 Privateer and chests of 300 coin after age up.

  2. In the Commerce Age, send the Age 1 homecity shipment “Advanced Politicians” which makes your “politicians ship extra rewards”. Now “The Gentleman Pirate” grants “2 Privateers and 2 Corsairs” upon age up, according to the in-game description.

  3. Choose the Gentleman Pirate after sending Advanced Politicians. It grants 2 Privateers and chests of 300 coin upon age up. The “2 Corsairs” given in the description are NOT granted to the player.

Similarly, if you send Advanced Politicians in the Fortress age, then the description of “The Papal Guard” (Industrial Age Politician) changes from “Grants 8 Papal Guards. Guard Upgrades for Hand Infantry can be researched very cheaply” to “Grants 12 Papal Guards”. This time the description is NOT mentioning that The Papal Guard politician is also granting cheap guard upgrades for your hand infantry in addition to the 12 Papal Guards.

:arrow_forward: EXPECTED RESULT

The in-game description of the age up politicians is supposed to correctly match the rewards being granted.

From LEFT TO RIGHT in the above image, we have :

  1. Advanced Politicians Homecity Shipment for Italy.

  2. The Gentleman Pirate before sending Advanced Politicians.

  3. The Gentleman Pirate after sending Advanced Politicians. The description here mentions 2 Corsairs. However, no such reward is granted. The player gets chests of 300 coin instead.

  4. The Papal Guard politician before sending Advanced Politicians.

  5. The Papal Guard politician after sending Advanced Politicians. Here the description does not mention that “guard upgrades for hand infantry can be researched very cheaply” even though that reward is still granted.
