Hello,

I was playing the latest patch with ne new Drakken faction.



I discovered a bug around the requirements for the auriga institue building. As you can see (hopefully) in the attached images, the building should require a total of 20 influence from city tiles (first image).

But the city, which can create this building does not have 20 influence from city tiles, in this example the city has 12 from city tiles, which you can see in the images too. (image 2)

This requirement (or the text for the requirements) don't work correctly. At the moment the total influence has to be 20 in the city, which means influence from city tiles but also from workers and any other bonus.

The third images shows, that the building becomes unavailable/unbuildable if the total income for influence drops below 20. (because the time for construction becomes infinite, if you would like to select it at available constructions (after dropping it from the queue), it becomes unavailable too. (image 4)



I could not find anything for a search with the words "auriga institute", therefore I hope, that there is no other thread about it, please excuse me if I was wrong.

Out of curiosity, did you have any problems with the quest to give you the institute? I just came over here to report that the game wouldn't acknowledge that I was at peace with the other factions and complete it.

Sorry I can't help you with this problem, I don't have any save files from this part of the game and can't check it.

But I had no problems with this quest or at least I did not noticed any problems.



I remember, that I was not at war at this time. I am sure about this, because I checked it immediately after I read the quest.

Therefore I would assume, that your problem has something to do with diplomacy changes. (Maybe the quest does not check any diplomacy changes and everybody, who was at war in the turn, in which the quest started, can't complete it)



Anyway, the building would be hard to get and therefore not that useful, if the building would check the requirements correctly. At the moment it is a very nice building, you can fulfil the bugged requirements very easy and get a nice boost to your happiness.



As soon as this gets changed, you will have a very hard time with the following quest.

I don't want to spoiler it, so skip is if you don't want to know it, but the quest afterwards needs you to create the Auriga Institute in each city within your whole empire. This will be impossible in small cities. For 20 influence, you would need at least 7 districts and/or ruins in combination with the building, which increases the influence per district/city tile by 2. (Because ruins are 3 influence each and each district and city tile will creates 1 influence by default plus the 2 influence for this other building increases it to 3 and 7 times 3 is 21) For smaller cities you would need something else, which increases the influence per district (and city tile) or you have to burn the smaller cities.



I finished the game some hours ago and could complete any quest up to the 8th quest. Maybe there is no 9th quest at the moment, but I did not got any other Drakken-faction quests after the 8th. But for these 8 faction quests, I had no problems.
