Two Bombards not granting tech boost

[saebel]

Hello. I am not getting the tech boost that is supposed to be granted with two bombards. I read somewhere that the tech boost is no longer granted with two bombards but rather with two trubuchets. Can you please fix it one way or the other? I keep forgetting it's bugged until I get the second bombard.

I would not hold my breath for any further patches. Steam has a few simple mods that fix the text to show the correct requirements.

Maybe Devs forgot to fix description files for this one.

Same problem here, as illustrated on the image below - already produced 3rd Bombard, but boost didn't trigger . Fully updated Civilization 6 Platinium from Steam - v1.0.12.9 (564030).

I've got reply from 2K Support - they're aware of this bug, and it's indeed caused by wrong description of that boost: it's granted by 2 Trebuchets, not 2 Bombards.

This points to a general logic error in the way this works, at least to me. Because units become obsolete, it's possible to miss out on important eurekas or other achievement milestones because you got a tech that made something obsolete. (I don't play Babylon much, but I would imagine it's a huge problem for them.) A similar problem is having formed corps or armies out of units that you need to promote a certain number of.
If they were willing to patch this, it would be pretty simple:
Don't make units obsolete if they are required for outstanding eurekas.
OR
Count promoted units as the more archaic units for the purpose of eurekas.
Also, count corps as 2 units and armies as 3 for the purpose of eurekas.

This got fixed in a "silent" hotfix patch released with the Great Negotiators Pack and Julius Caesar.

Thanks Firaxis.
