    Default Reinforcement Armies

    i have a question. why is it that everytime i siege a city and my reinforcement armies have siege equipment they just stand there and act like idiots while be picked off by the enemies towers and archers on the walls. WHY don't they ATTACK with their siege equipment????????

    Yes, in sieges select that you controlled them by the new method and tell them to attack. One time with byzantium I selected controlled by the AI and one of the armies dont attack until the finish of the battle.

    Full of bugs. I had a problem with archers on the walls. When I say they to go down and retreat in front of an enemy army, they just stand and get killed without a fight. So depressing. I lose a bloody town because of that.
    Take your spears and swords, arrows of bravery. And like your ancestors, fly to the defence of your Serbian homeland...

    Keep skirmish mode off.

    Unless I take skirmish mode off when either attacking or defending a settlement, archers are almost worse than nothing unless as the defender I just park them in the town square or use them to soak up arrows in loose formation in order to deflect fire against some artillery or siege equipment (catapults become highly accurate at close range against gates).
