1.0 bugs? undead pikemen

**Ellsid** · November 18, 2008, 12:57 AM

Hello, good mod, there is one bug I see on the battle field all the time.

Pikemen being hit by cannons fire fall down(killed) and after a few seconds get back up and stand still. They become obsticles entangelling horse and men with their pikes. passive zombies...example being, I will have two cannons firing at an attacking pike column and a ball will rip through the unit killing 6 to 8 men. As the pikemen press their attack the killed men get back up and stand still..?

At the end of the battle the battle losses will state that the enemy kill are 100% while all those undead litter the field. My musketeers unit cards show they are still firing at something but there is no animation that show they are.

This has been fixed with patch 1.15

Indeed, but 1.15 uses the vanilla pikemen formation, right? Will the custom pikemen formation, which, aside from the bug, was definitely better than the vanilla one, be fixed or is AD sticking with the vanilla?

So I have the 1.15 patch how do I make it active because I thought I was using the 1.15 during my game.

Ok, I went back and manually attempted an overide of the data files.. Play a custom battle and no more standing dead.

Thank you, have a good day.....

The impact effect from cannons does not always kill and does knock people down. Some die others get back up. The fact that you are getting 100% kill ratio says that your play/game is unbalanced.

what he refers to is the fact that even though they are clearly dead from the shot,they will rise again and continue to stand in place,effectively out of the battle,dead,but still standing perfectly erect for the duration of the conflict.And yes,the former pike formation was a lot better than vanilla,but as it stands right now AD is very busy and putting the project on hold after the last patch comes out,and I did not see a reversion to the original in the change log that has been released for the upcoming patch,so we may have to settle ffor what is there,which is fine by me

And to you Ellsid..have a nice day as well

The pikemen animation in version 1.0 was bugged. The animation was switched back to the vanilla animation and has been fixed since 1.10.

I had noticed a similar thing but this was after I loaded 1.5.

A cannon ball bounded through the ranks of some pikemen and I believe about 5 went down. 4 stayed down but one actually appeared to recover, slowly stand up, look about him for a second or two and then ran to catch up with his mates!:hmmm:

What the hell happened there! All very entertaining but has anyone else seen this.

The pikeman was certainly not undead but very much alive after he had recovered. In fact I admired his guts in getting back into the fray. Myself I think I would have sloped off towards the rear!
