Reinforcement AI Doing nothing
I was laying siege to a large, stoned walled city, with AI reinforcements. About half way through I noticed that the AI Reinforcements were doing nothing but sitting outside the walls, despite the fact I had rammed down the gates and placed siege towers.
Is there any way to solve this problem without having to control another whole army myself?

It happens more, and is simply a AI issue. It happens with the 1.5 patch as well, so patching isn't a solution for that. The only thing you can do, is make the army besiege the city itself and build it it's own siege equipment.

Make sure the AI reinforcements are commanded by a General, then you won't have to control that army, although if it doesn't have any siege weaponry, it'll still have to wait for you to break in before doing anything.

An army that has no general can also be controlled by the pc. And the problem doesn't have anything to do with having a general command AI reinforcements or not.

The AI is pretty worthless. I've gotten beaten in battles simply because the Ai won't reinforce me. INstead they'd rather group up among each other or walk around the entire map without doing so much as looking in the direction of wherethe fight is actually going on. Seriously, I was in XGM, playing the provincial campaign with a horde of barbarians and was taking on Macedon, and I had two other armies in the battle, and they grouped up together on the other side of hte map(AND ONE STARTED DIRECTLY BEHIND ME!) and I nearly lost the battle. It was a failed sally for the macedons, but my campaign effectively crumbled in a great heaping pile of garbage in one freakin' battle. AI reinforcements suck.
Re: Reinforcement AI Doing nothing
I attacked a city once with 3 armies, 2 led by generals one by a captain. I ticked to box to have to captain's army controlled by the AI. However, when the battle started, despite having 2 siege towers, the captain's army waited outside the battlefield and only one unit came on (because the army I controlled wasn't full). But I had selected it to be CONTROLLED BY THE AI, so why didn't the AI take control?

I wonder if it depneds on how big the AI armies are.Originally Posted by ben331
Also, can you open the enemy gates without actually damaging them? I know a spy has a percentage chance but it takes a good long while to smash them buggers down.

Re: Reinforcement AI Doing nothing
Indeed you can, just let your spy infiltrate the settlement. The more experienced your spy the more the chance he'll open the gates when you siege. usually a 50% chance is enough.

Haha I think I just played against you in multiplayer Pax_Romana. You were playing as the Seleucids I think and the map was a siege of Rome. But you disconnected/quit almost straight after it began.

yep, evry1 knows the AI sucks. Thats why i just uncheck the AI box bfore the battle. that way i control all reinforcements.
Of these facts there cannot be any shadow of doubt: for instance, that civil society was renovated in every part by Christian institutions; that in the strength of that renewal the human race was lifted up to better things-nay, that it was brought back from death to life, and to so excellent a life that nothing more perfect had been known before, or will come to be known in the ages that have yet to be. - Pope Leo XIII
