Wall Repair Bug

**David Webb** · August 25, 2008, 08:23 AM

I captured two settlements that were both tiny towns by assaults using trebuchets. In the attack, I blew out wall sections with the trebuchets. Once capturing the settlements, instead of repairing the walls, I just converted to castle.

10 turns later, my neighbor invades with a large stack and assaults first turn. I was surprised when I see they have no siege weapons. So I click fight the battle and position my troops. Their army begins going around the city corner and I turn the camera to see......

Two huge gaping holes in my walls. WTF!?

So I reload the turn before and see that I cant even repair these anymore.

Is this a MTW2 bug or a BC bug?

Either way, the lesson learned is REPAIR YOUR DAMN WALLS BEFORE SWITCHING TO CASTLE!

When you converted to castle, was the walls icon highlited as "repair needed"? If not it's MTW bug. If yes, then it's a feature.

Yes, it was in need of repair. My thinking was that building a castle would eliminate the whole town wall anyway, so why repair it? I guess that was a bad assumption.

abandon the castle and let it rebel. recapture it and destroy a part of the wall. then you can repair it again

Well, the Kypcheks are about to rape me on this front, I will be retaking the fortresses anyway. They invaded my territories around Baku with 3-4 columns while I was preparing an invasion of Abbuyid Levantine territories, so it will take me 4-5 turns to get all my armies up there are repel them. In the meantime, MERCENARIES!
