One is, siege towers dont work on the walls of minas tirith, forcing a very long slog of a battle at the gateway.
Secondly, when I have two armies sieging a settlement. I attack with one, allow the other as AI reinforcements. However the AI army, with the exception of one or two archer bands, just sits and watches my main army fight it out whilst they sit there scratching their simulated bums. In order to win the battle of Minas Tirith without being able to use siege towers or help from additional units I had to take the 60 minute time limit off (basic units, before the 40 turns). I was winning with one army, but when the time ran out both armies retreat and can't attack agan that turn, meaning when I attacked again had the exact same number of enemies as to fight again.
I tried checking and unchecking the boxes which come up pre-battle for re-enforcements in every way possible.
That being said, I did win the battle in the end. Once I took the limit off I was able to beat them with just the one army. But it would be nice to have AI reinforcements work as well, is there a setting I can change for this perhaps?
Oh, and the campaign map is epic, I just love how much bigger, more detailed and accurate this map is, and I cannot wait to explore it when playing as different factions. I waited until the release and the first couple of patches before trying this, so I hadn't seen the new map until today and I was kind of blown away by it.
Thank you to everyone involved for giving up your free time and effort to create something which is going to give me many hours of fun.
