Deploy without costs? - Achaemenid Empire bug (fixed)

[Talaborn]

ID 86009

Anyone else has passed. I deploy twice on a military card. Then I saw, that I hadn‘t paid for deploying („0“ costs). I think this is a bug.

I stopped to play. If it is possible to correct, it would be nice. Otherwise we have to play on.

I confirm, it's a bug. It is related to the dynasty card "Achaemenid Empire": I think that if you change dynasty before using its effect then the effect persists (probably until the end of the game!).
I will remove your 4 stones but please wait a bit, I need to check if there is a way to remove the effect, otherwise you will always deploy military at 0 cost.

Ok, I think I was able to fix the game, but please keep an eye on your military deployments and let me know if you see that it is still wrong.
I will try to fix the bug too, this one should be easy enough.

Thank you 👍.

Haha, the dynasty so unpopular that no one noticed!

[Talaborn]

Sorry to bother you once more. It seems, that i had in round 1b another cost—free deployment on military. Could you remove one more stone pls. Thanks a lot.

Ah ok, it happened before I fixed your game.
I can remove one of your stones but I'm afraid the game is inconsistent anyway: previously I removed 4 of your stones and you were left with 0, but actually you should have had 3 and you wouldn't have been able to deploy 2 workers on Longbowman. I don't know how much this affects the game.

And to clarify, the bug is triggered only in this specific condition: you have "Achaemenid Empire", you take a worker in Growth phase and then as your first action you change dynasty. Then you will have the Achaemenid effect for the rest of the game.
And to further clarify: I fixed your game removing the persistent effect but I have not fixed the bug in the code yet, so it could happen again in other games (but I hope to fix it soon).

Ok, the bug has been fixed and it shouldn't happen again.
