[Patch 1.0.1] Commander's Initiative Promotion not working

[civfanatic4sure]

I think the trigger for it to stop working is a free commander promotion event.

I did not think of that — could definitely be the problem.

I came to say my theory was that it’s after an age transition. I was pretty sure my commanders from antiquity would never retain that ability once in exploration, but it could be that they got free promotions during the age transition. It’s gotta be something to do with one of the two.

What worries me is that if that's the problem, all of the promotion could be inaffective and maybe we didn't notice?
Guess not but it should be necessary to check...

Can confirm. reloaded my save prior to the event (the one that gives u a choice of a migrant or a commander promo) chose the migrant and now the ability works. Will test further.

I suspect this as well. I started with Persia which have this promotion for free on the commenders. Transitioned into Mongols and now it doesn't work any more. All other promotions seems to be fine but the free initiative one doesn't work neither when manually nor automatically unpacking. The big problem is there's seemingly no way I can get it back since all my commanders have progressed past that node in the upgrade tree.

I played a Persia->Mongolia game today and did not have the problem, I did however have a huge problem with this in another game where I went Maya->Abbasid->Buganda.

Same for me, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, no idea why.

I almost always unpack them manually one by one (and it would DEFINITELY be necessary to be possible to unpack someone on top of the Commander, and not only in the adjacent hex....)

At least they added the unpack in the Commander's hex feature!
