Siege battles - AI issue

[dcpuser]

Hi all,

I'm running into an issue where in every Siege fight when I am the defender the AI does not attack. They simply abandon their rams, towers, ladders, etc and then form up some distance away from the equipment. Even their catapults, trebuchets, etc. retreat back and form up beyond attack range of the walls. My men are stationed at the walls so its not a distance issue. This happens even if the AI outnumbers my army by a huge margin...

Anyway this can be resolved? I read that this has been a bug with the vanilla version of the game but was supposedly fixed in a patch. I have all the latest updates including the latest SS version.

That only happens if you choose to attack a beseiging AI army which means you are sallying forth.

The AI goes into Defence mode if you do that and will expect you to come out and attack them.


The only way to stop it happening as far as i know is to wait for them to attack you or send reinforcements to attack the seiging army.

I thought sally forth problem has been fixed by ReallyBadAI submod. I'm not tried it yet.

As far as I know that's not a problem - when you sally forth, you're now the attacker and they're the defender so they should be perfectly happy to stand around seeing as they'll win when the timer runs out.
