Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition — Update 23511

[Mr_Bramboy]

Omg the patch notes:

Units spawned from buildings for free—such as Heavy Cannons at the Factory—will now wait for the population space to spawn rather than being lost entirely if blocked from doing so.

That really took 16 years

Wow, I had this occur during a game against drongo in the stream and I already thought that was strange, I figured that must've been changed at some point. Didn't realize it was changed in the beta I was playing on.

[Squamiger]

hmmmmm already I feel like this challenge system is bugged. I just recruited waaaay more than 50 native units in a single game, TWICE, and the challenge still says its unfulfilled...

The question is, did you press "begin"?

Eagerly awaiting the hotfix in a few days which hopefully irons out the most prominent crashes and bugs.

I figured it out, it needed to be 50 on the field at once, not just in total. I also figured out that these challenges are worth waaaay more than 5 dollars of my time

I have tried 0 challenges but had already decided this

[Dolan]

Come to think of it, maybe those bigger updates do include a bitcoin miner in them, so that if you decide to not buy the USA civ but just play the challenges, you'd still end up making them money by mining for them, without even knowing.

Americas team TC and bison card spawn chu ko nu for team mates. You cant make this stuff up i swear hahaha

[Dolan]
