Art of War Booming os broken?

[Hipokondriako]

I have been trying to get gold in the Art of War challenge. This guy does it without much trouble.

But when I do it, I am FORCED to build a castle. The game won´t accept siege workshop, chuurch and university. The imperial age button is blocked until I build a castle. I think the script to enable age IV button in the tutorial is just broken.
Is it just my game, or does it happen to anyone else? Can you people complete the challenge with just siege workshop and university?

Same problem here. The button for advancing to the IA only shows up after building a castle. Guess the devs managed to break a lot with the last patch :p

Thank you! It's good to know it's not a failed installation on my end

and i was wondering, what I was doing wrong. is it even possible to reach gold, when you have to build a castle?

tried several times and I couldn't. building a castle i got close when i took some initial wooden villagers to get stone. The problem is that I get missing around 10 villagers to pass the next era and I can't make it any faster

I guess it is, I´m not a great player and I´m only about 20 secs late

Yep feels bugged to me. i tried 2-3 times to complete the challenge with building monastery/university, but the imperial age button never shows even if i have well over 100 vills and also the required resources for imp. Didn't know it forced u to make castle untill reading this post.

I achieved it a few min ago. It is possible with the castle to achieve the gold medal. Buy once wood at the beginning and start a town center right after the game starts. Get people to stone from this towncenter. every time you hit 100 stone get another towncenter down up to 5 in total. 2-3 towncenters should only send vills to the stone. about 100-120 seconds before the deadline ends you should build the castle. Build it with all stoneminers. send all of them after the castle to gold. Buy the rest of the food on the market. you should have plenty of wood to sell and a good amount of time to do it without stress. this worked for me. (Building farms and houses of course, at least 1tc should always supply the woodline)

I achieved it in a more traditional way, but yours seems way easier. Thanks!

Thanks for the reports! We have fixes in the work for the issue that will ensure that other Castle Age structures count towards your progression to the Imperial Age. Watch for it in a future update, and let us know if you continue to have problems after it's in the game.

Thanks again!

Is there also a fix in the works for the rushing your opponent mission? Currently it takes 8 vill kills to complete instead of the 5 it is supposed to take.

Also a known issue with a fix in the works! =)
