[SKR 2.2.0.0] [BUG] Custom Tyrant can't build Pioneers or Scouts

from SorcererKing Forums

Both times I've tried the tyrant sovering I've had this issue. According to the skill tree, in order to build pioneers you need the militarization skill and then build an Urxen Hovel. However, I've never seen it unlock the option to train any urxen units or pioneers. Are there other hidden requirements to unlock the tyrant's pioneer?

Just tried real quick and didn't work for me either. I would have sworn that worked in the past. I built the Urxen Hovel and a bunch more buildings and nothing, wonder if the most recent patch messed something up, or there is some other needed thing that is not mentioned that I just happened to build in the past. Strange.

I looked in CoreUnits.xml and added the following the following lines to the Urxen Betrayer :

Code: xml
  3. <Prereq>
  5.         <Type>AbilityBonusOption</Type>
  7.         <Attribute>StartingUnits_Shadow</Attribute>
  9.         <Target>Player</Target>
  11. </Prereq>

When I loaded my game the unit was still unavailable. I then started a new campaign and noticed my tyrant wasn't the default one. So I pressed on the default button. When I started the game, both Urxen betrayer and the scout were available(the scout wasn't available in my previous attempts but I did not notice it earlier). 

I don't think it's related to the xml modifications, but perhaps the custom tyrant does not have the shadow_player flag set?

Yep, you are definitely on to something. I too had used the customize feature. Just tried again with using the default tyrant and everything worked just fine.

 

Nice catch!


Perhaps consider modifying the thread title to include the [Bug] tag.

I reverted the changes I did to the XML file and tested regular games with a custom/default tyrant. It really is an issue with the custom leader. It does not seem to affect other factions. I'll modify the title accordingly.
