Wrong ruin upgrade for Scout

[Jorlem]

I am currently playing with the v.123 and the latest patch, and the latest version (16) of Infoaddict. I had cleared the cache right before starting this game.

A turn ago, I sent a scout onto a ruin, and the scout was upgraded into an archer. It has been a while since I last frequented this forum to any sigificant degree, but I'm fairly sure that I recall it being said that the ruins are not supposed to upgrade units out of their tree, meaning that the scout should not upgrade to something that is not a vanguard unit. As the ruins did so just now, I thought I should report it.

If it makes any difference, I'm playing on Prince with Catherine, on a Continents Plus map, random size. It is currently turn 110.

I've attached a screenshot to this post. As you can see, the archer has a Trenches promotion.

Thanks for the great mod. I hope this can get fixed, if it is indeed a bug.


Edit:
After a turn, I noticed that the promotion had turned into an Accuracy promotion. Still annoying loosing the scout though.

Scouts have always ruins-upgraded to archers, in vanilla & VEM. Regardless, it's going to lose its ignore-terrain trait. It has never ruins-upgraded to a levy.

I recommend you build more scouts, and good luck getting your archer home.

Ok. I just thought I remembered some discussion a while back about changing that. Must have misremembered. My bad.

You're remembering right; it did upgrade to a levy for a month or two. I changed it back by request from feedback on his forum... lots of people seem to prefer the scout -> archer upgrade.
