Replaceable Parts oversight?

[Shesh]

The Boost for this Technology has remained "Own 3 Musketman" but i cant get this boost now because Ive already researched Line Infantry. Feels like the boost should be "Own 3 Line Infantry" No?

square rigging, too?

eh, depends how you're teching, really. one can completely forsake castles and above, moving along the upper part of the tech tree to replaceable parts (and square rigging). it would be a sizable investment of time to military science for that eureka. i probably wouldn't do it under most circumstances, unless some aspect of my leader's specials fell between castles and steel.

I have 3 musketmen and still no boost. Same with Siege tactics - had 2 bombards, no boost.

Saw quill18 get this boost just the other day from upgrading past the musketman into the line infantry. Is it changed to line infantry and they didn't change the text? Or does the boost now apply when skipping past the musketman via upgrades?

Not sure, sounds like it needs a bit more testing to figure out just what the deal is.

Btw, he was going from man-at-arms --> line infantry with that upgrade

It's a mistake, they happen. It's not like they can do a full search and replace, because the old units are still in the game. They missed a couple text fields, they'll catch them in a patch at some point.

yeah mistakes happen but cmon you change the way the boost works without changing its text? there only two things to a boost, the text and the effect... cmon ya know?

I can think of a half dozen reasons why something like this could happen, it's not as cut and dried as just making the change.

Exactly. Now if that had been the only change or one of only a few changes in the patch, it would be crazy for them to not catch it. But they changed, added, and fixed a LOT in that last patch. Hardly surprising.

Not gonna lie that I wish they were faster with fixes, but that has been the way of Firaxis/2K for a long time now.

Just played a game where I couldn't trigger the siege tactics with bombards, and had already bought two siege towers. Buying the two of them didn't trigger it either; is that because they weren't directly trebuchets? Had a military engineer sleeping the turns away waiting to build a fort. Really messes with hammurabi play

[Aachen]

The siege tower is a support unit unrelated to the siege-class military units (such as the trebuchet).

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh,

Mistakes happen, sure, but they *still* haven't updated the text over a month later. I'm sure they probably have a list of other small bugs and typos like it that could have been pushed out as a mini-patch by now, but they haven't.
