Royalists love battering ram !

[Spangenhelm]

There is a funny bug during siege versus AI. When attacking, AI use battering ram untill the death !

For example :

I play parliament and I defend a citadel versus royalist assault.
First attack was unsuccessful but well managed.
But AI never attack a second time ! AI troops stop moving.

AI send a regiment alone with the second battering ram ! But first battering ram had always shut down my door during first attack (see below).


Regiment with second battering ram attacks my pikemen !!! ...and flee !


Then a new regiment come back with first battering ram... but the second blocks the way...


Then AI send all it infantry units one by one to push battering ram


During this crazy action the rest of AI army wait and do nothing :hmmm:


AI regiment come to my gate one by one, and my troops shut them one by one, and they flee, and they comme back again... until annihilation !



AI motionless troops are perfect target for my musketeer...


This was a slaughter...

I play parliament and I defend a citadel versus royalist assault.

This is very strange, there are no citadels on the map and I can hardly believe any settlement will grow to be that big ni the time of the campaign.

As to the main problem, I'm not really sure, nothing has changed in this regard.

This is not strange, I made screenshot during a custom battle

This "battering ram problem" appeared in my grand campaign game during a siege of Warwick but at this time I can't do screenshot. So when this problem is reappeared it was during this custom battle.

The first time during siege of Warwick, AI become crazy in front of my second wall. AI correctly attacked the first wall but stop move in front of the second and send all regiment one by one with battering ram ! This crazy action saved me

Since this first time, problem reappear frequently in all situation : grand campaign or custom battle, AI with or without artillery, AI more numerous than me or less numerous... Problem is not yet happening with wooden wall.

So I can't say anymore but I can send you more screenshot if you want.

Cheers

The Royalists also acted funny in my campaign. I had few men and couldn't hold back the entire regiment so i decided to stage a final stand at the town center. The enemy then punched 3 or 4 holes in my walls, then picked up the battering ram and battered down the gate!?!?! None went through the breaches put instead waited calmly outside the gates. Strange but funny, also!
