2. Game Mechanics Questions — Age of Empires IV (AOE4HOOK)

Answer in your own words based on personal gameplay experience. One-word answers or wiki/AI copy-pastes are rejected.

You are playing a standard 1v1 land map match. At 06:30 on the timer, you see in the HUD economy table that your French opponent’s food income has dropped sharply, villagers have been shifted to gold and stone, and military production has paused. Describe the 2 most likely scenarios they are planning and how you will verify it.
What is the fundamental difference between issuing an Attack-Move (A-click) command on the ground versus A-clicking directly on a specific building when your control group contains siege engines (springalds / mangonels) alongside infantry?
What behavior penalty does a monk carrying a relic have in current patches, and why can you not simply Shift-queue them to pick up 3 relics in a row without clicking a Monastery in between?
You are testing AI BOT and auto-villager queue. In what in-game situation around minutes 12–15 will blindly keeping auto-villager production running across three Town Centers plus active auto-military production inevitably delay your Castle Age timing?
You switched the UI theme using F5 and changed screen scaling from 100% to 150%. Which specific elements of the 4-contour radar and Live Preview will you inspect first for alignment or clipping?

3. Attention Check & Bug Report Formatting Task

A strong QA tester reads specs carefully and clearly separates reproduction steps from expected and actual results.

Candidate Task (Guest Preview):
  • Pick any real household object around you whose name starts with the first letter of your forum username (for username Tester allowed letters: T / Т).
  • Invent a humorous "malfunction" of that object and write a structured bug report of at least 100 words.
  • Your report must include these three section headers: ВОСПРОИЗВЕДЕНИЕ: (REPRODUCTION), ОЖИДАЕМЫЙ РЕЗУЛЬТАТ: (EXPECTED), and ФАКТИЧЕСКИЙ РЕЗУЛЬТАТ: (ACTUAL).
Words in bug report: 0 of 100+ Required headers: ВОСПРОИЗВЕДЕНИЕ (REPRODUCTION) / ОЖИДАЕМЫЙ РЕЗУЛЬТАТ (EXPECTED) / ФАКТИЧЕСКИЙ РЕЗУЛЬТАТ (ACTUAL)
