Turning the Square Timer back on in Siege Battles

[sithi]

Alright, I'm getting tired of sole enemy units hiding on the walls when I have taken the rest of the city and it takes about three times the amount of units to flush the last enemies in hiding out one by one. So I want to turn the square timer back on.

How do I do that?

This issue annoys me as well. I dont know how to do it.

A search result;

At first I thought this interesting in that I could just place my army into a good corner of the city where there are some extra walls, towers and a narrow place to hold off the enemy. If I can keep my guys from routing (not hard as long as I can keep my general nearby and alive).

Than I realized all I have to do is have 1 unit of pistoliers to keep from losing when my city is assaulted. Simply leave the city and stay away from the bad guys.

In one recent battle I let 3 chaos armies complete with deamon princes enter the city while my forces held one gate house and deployed spearmen and cavalry outside (as opposed to inside) and let the chaos armies come at me from inside (as opposed to outside) running into burning oil.

Is there anyway to get the town square timer working again?

updated post -

I looked into the battle xml file and found the ratio of enemy needed to capture plaza was different from original.

While on my deamon prince mod the plaza timer works the ratio is 0.80

on 1.4.1 the ratio is 2.0

question is if 2.0 is an unobtainable ratio?

battle xml file

in settlement rules segment

updated

changing the battle xml file / settlement / rules for force balance at plaza from

2.0 - 0.80 enabled the plaza clock again.

It's in battle_config.xml in the COW data folder, at line 282.
